Hurrican forecasters cannot predict hurricanes


Lastest news is that hurricane forecasters cannot predict the hurricanes anymore. After 30 years two climatologists are abandoing their long range forecasting efforts. This was due to the fact the past couple hurricanes have not been what the news predicted. The hurricanes were not as severe as they should have been. Weather can not always be predicted and theirs enough chaos in the weather that could take months of research to predict what would happen. In 2010 the duo predicted over 200 days of tropical storms and we only recieved half of the days. Technology is getting better, but will the predictions ever be accurate?

  1. its weird that i brought something up about this leaving class tonight when i didnt know you did a blog about it. its weird to think that people can predict what a storm is going to do before it happens. im surprised more people arent wrong about these kinds of things.
