* Hurricane season 2010 runs from on June 1, 2010 and lasts until November 30, 2010 for the North Atlantic Basin. The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be an above-average season due to a developing La Nina pattern and warmer Atlantic SST's. The negative North-Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is still in place. Be sure to check this page if there is any activity in the Atlantic basin this year.
