The temporary respite from intense hurricanes provided by Saharan dust could indeed lead to complacency or a false sense of security, potentially hindering preparedness efforts for the predicted exceptionally intense hurricane season. If regions affected by hurricanes experience a prolonged period of reduced storm activity due to the suppressive effect of Saharan dust, there is a risk that residents, policymakers, and emergency response agencies may become less vigilant and prepared for future storms. This complacency could result in inadequate infrastructure improvements, evacuation plans, and disaster response measures, leaving communities vulnerable when the suppressive effect weakens or when a particularly intense hurricane season occurs. Therefore, it is crucial for stakeholders to remain proactive, even during periods of reduced hurricane activity, to ensure readiness for when the threat of hurricanes returns.
