According to weather experts, this year's Atlantic hurricane season will be a big hurricane season, with 17 tropical storms named, of which 9 might be big storms.

Weather experts at Colorado State University said that of these, there will be at least one major storm hit the US land in the period from 1-6 to 30 November. The London-based Tropical Storm Risk weather agency also made a similar forecast.

'We increased our forecasts during the 2007 hurricane season, mainly due to the rapid evolution of the El Nino phenomenon,' Colorado State University's Philip Klotzbach and William Gray experts said in a statement. They said the surface temperature of the North Atlantic is still higher than normal.

Last year, the leading US weather forecasters misjudged that the 2006 hurricane season was a bad season. A year earlier, the United States suffered 15 major storms, including Hurricane Katrina devastating New Orleans.

The 2005 hurricane season is considered a record hurricane season in the Atlantic with 28 tropical storms and 15 major storms. Hurricane Stan, hitting Guatemala, killed at least 2,000 people.
