2020 Planet Puppy hurricane season

The 2020 Planet Puppy hurricane season is a future event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form on Planet Puppy. The season will run throughout 2020, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between June and December.

The Planet Puppy hurricane basin is strikingly similar to the Atlantic Ocean basin on Planet Earth. The locations of the areas have names that are also similar to those on Earth.

Seasonal Forecasts
The Hurricane Lucas Meteorological Agency, in its first year associated with the Puppy Hurricane Center, issued its pre-season forecast for the Doglantic Ocean, calling for 37–43 named storms, 18–23 hurricanes, and 8–12 major hurricanes, meaning the season would be less active than normal.
