Hurricane Season in the Atlantic
Is the hurricane season in the Atlantic basin getting longer? At look at the trend of early-season and late-season storms over two trend periods, since 1950 and since 1980. The negative trend on the left side of the graphs indicates increasing numbers of early-season storms, while the increasing trend lines on the right side of the graphs indicates more late-season storms.
