The prices suggest a 60% chance there will be more hurricanes during the 2024 season than in 2023, this is similar to the climatology over the past three decades and is slightly lower than the 70% probability of more than 7 hurricanes in the December forecast from Tropical Storm Risk (TSR).

As new forecasts and other information become available to the participants in the prediction market prices will evolve to reflect their updated probabilities.
