NOAA expects below-normal Pacific hurricane season
Between one and four tropical cyclones are forecast to form in the Pacific Basin this year, NOAA said, which would be a below-normal season.
In an early season Pacific storm forecast, NOAA's Central Pacific Hurricane Center and Climate Prediction Center said the outlook 'is a guide to the overall seasonal tropical cyclone activity in the central Pacific Basin and does not predict whether or how many of these systems will affect Hawaii.' A near-normal season, which starts June 1, has four or five tropical storms.
'Even though this season is predicted to be less active, now is the time for residents and businesses to prepare for hurricane season,' Chris Brenchley, director of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, said in a news release.

Simple hacks that will level up your camping game
It's camping season, and once you get your tent set up, it's time to roast marshmallows by the campfire. Here are some simple hacks to make yourself more comfortable! Is the ground too uneven to comfortably sit in your chair? Tennis balls can fix that! Simply cut a hole in your tennis balls and place them over the bottoms of your chair to help even things out. SEE ALSO: Instead of buying bags of ice to keep your items cold in the cooler, just fill up a bottle of water and throw it in the freezer overnight before you head out. It will keep everything cold and give you extra drinking water! You'll also never regret bringing an emergency poncho with you, just in case. Are you camping in the rain and having to dry everything? It can take forever for towels to dry, but a microfiber towel can dry things off without taking long for itself to dry. Having a dedicated water-proof bag will also keep your belongings nice and dry. Bug spray is also great to have, but a coil uses smoke to keep the mosquitos away! Check out the video above as The Weather Network's Nathan Coleman shows off how these camping hacks can up your game this summer.
