Fewer tropical storms than normal will swirl across the Atlantic this year because of the El Nino effect, the U.K.’s Met Office said today.
Seven to 13 tropical storms will develop in the 2012 storm season that runs from June through November, with 10 the most likely outcome, the government weather forecaster said in an e-mailed report. The average from 1980 to 2010 is 12, it said.
