Tropical Storm Sean Forms in the Atlantic, Becoming the Latest Named Storm of the Busy 2023 Season

Tropical Storm Sean formed in the Atlantic Ocean on October 11, becoming the latest named storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and was located about 725 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
This year's Atlantic hurricane season was predicted to see 12 to 17 named storms, but that estimate was raised to 14 to 21 storms in August.
Sean is not expected to strengthen much and there are currently no warnings in effect for land.
Climate change is making hurricanes more intense and increasing risks from storm surge, rapid intensification, and broader reach of tropical systems.
