CNN News:2020年第一场热带风暴亚瑟形成

2020-08-06来源:和谐英语

Which of these seasons runs from June 1st to November 30th? California wildfire season, Australia bushfire season, Atlantic hurricane season or Plains tornado season. These disasters can generally occur at any time of the year but June 1st through November 30th is officially the Atlantic hurricane season.
Case in point, Tropical Storm Arthur which formed this weekend off the coast of Florida. The system was classified as a tropical storm on Saturday night when its sustained wind speed reached 39 miles per hour. Forecasters don't expect Arthur to make landfall as a major hurricane.

It was over relatively cool water yesterday which can keep tropical storms from intensifying. But it does have a chance to get stronger when it passes over the warmer waters of the Gulf stream. Forecasters don't know where it's going to go.
It could spin along the eastern seaboard and bring rain, wind and rip currents up to the Carolinas. From there Arthur might drift farther north and steer toward New York and New Jersey. It might just blow out to sea. Meteorologists say it's not unusual to see storms form before the official start of the hurricane season, but a number of organizations are predicting an active season ahead. The U.S. government's forecast comes out later this week.
