The U.S. Department of State recently issued travel alerts for the 2022 Hurricane Season. According to the U.S. Consulate General Hamilton
located in Bermuda, the Atlantic Ocean hurricane season began on June 1, 2022, and extends through November.
The Consulate’s website says, ‘Be aware that in the event of a hurricane, you may not be able to depart Bermuda for 24-48 hours or longer.’
‘Roads may be washed out or obstructed by debris, adversely affecting access to airports and land routes out of affected areas.’
‘And security personnel may not always be available to assist.’
Before arriving in Bermuda, this government webpage offers various insights for visitors.
Furthermore, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center expects the 2022 season to be above average for the seventh consecutive year.
NOAA’s outlook for the overall seasonal hurricane activity is not a landfall forecast.
However, NOAA provides predictions with 70% confidence.
NOAA predicts that the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season will produce:
- 14 to 21 storms
- 6 to 10 hurricanes
- 3 to 6 major hurricanes
In June 2022, NOAA will enhance an experimental graphic that depicts the Peak Storm Surge Forecast when storm surge watches or warnings are in effect.
Upgrades include an updated disclaimer and color-coding illustrating the peak storm surge inundation forecast at the coast.
Moreover, the State Department suggests enrolling in Smart Traveler Enrollment Program for security updates and being digitally contacted in case of an emergency.
And encourage friends and family to register if they plan to travel outside the USA.
‘Requirements for travelers in other countries may differ from U.S. requirements.’
‘If you do not follow your destination’s requirements, you may be denied entry and required to return to the USA.’
