by Brianna Crandall — January 12, 2015—Of critical interest to facilities owners and managers in areas affected by Atlantic Basin hurricanes, Global Weather Oscillations Inc. (GWO), a hurricane cycle prediction company with a reputation for a high level of accuracy, forecasts, “The 2015 Atlantic Basin hurricane season will be the most active and dangerous in at least three years, and the next three seasons will be the most dangerous in 10 years.”
According to CEO David Dilley, while the past two hurricane seasons (2013 and 2014) were dominated by hostile upper atmospheric winds that suppressed tropical activity, the next few years will enter a natural “Climate Pulse Enhancement Cycle” that will be favorable for more active and intense hurricane seasons.
The Atlantic Basin experiences on the average 11 to 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes. GWO predicts the 2015 hurricane season to be a little above average and more dangerous, with 14 named storms, eight hurricanes and three major hurricanes. In addition, GWO is predicting three Hurricane Hot Spots along the United States coastline that are at high risk for hurricane activity this year, with at least one major hurricane likely.
GWO issues predictions based on its patent-pending Climate Pulse Technology developed by David Dilley. GWO currently has 11 United States prediction zones from New England to Texas, and the Philippine Islands in the western Pacific. Dilley says GWO also issues accurate predictions for El Nio events and other climate cycles.
When GWO predicts a high probability for hurricane conditions within one of their prediction zones, it is red-flagged as a hurricane or tropical storm “Hot Spot.” GWO claims its Hot Spot predictions for the United States have been nearly 87 percent accurate since 2006, and instrumental for long-range planning by companies and other organizations. GWO is reportedly the only organization that predicts hurricane conditions for specific zones, and for up to four years in advance. Detailed predictions for the 11 hurricane zones can be obtained from the GWO Web site.
GWO claims it was the only organization to predict the correct number of hurricanes in 2014 and that an El Nio would not form. GWO was also the only organization to predict the very weak 2013 hurricane season, “Hot Spot” zone predictions of Hurricane Ike (2008), Irene (2011), and Sandy (2012). The prediction of Sandy, a high-impact hybrid storm was made three years in advance, and Irene two years in advance.
According to Dilley, GWO differentiates itself from other organizations by its commitment to research and development of GWOs Climate Pulse Technology (CPT) that incorporates natural mechanisms that control the rhythm of weather and climate cycles. Research over the past 30 years has found that each of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal zones have varying weather cycles, and within each cycle, there exist smaller weather cycles that make each zone unique.
Once all of the cycles are discovered, Dilley says GWO then uses the Climate Pulse Technology to accurately assess the intensity of a future hurricane season, and the probability risk for hurricane or tropical storm conditions within a prediction zone for that year.
GWO Webinars, detailed hurricane zone predictions, past hurricane season verification, graphics, and the free climate change e-book Earths Natural Climate Pulse, authored by David Dilley, can be acquired through the GWO Web site.
In addition, an interactive electronic subscription to the GWOs hurricane predictions can also be acquired through GWOs working partner, XtremeGIS, the risk management division of Wall Street Network (WSN).
