This year’s Atlantic hurricane season has broken the record for the number of named storms, the US National Hurricane Center says.

Subtropical storm Theta in the north-east Atlantic is the 29th, breaking the previous record of 28 set in 2005.

Forecasters say another system is forming in the Caribbean which could be named in the near future.

Meteorologists say several factors are behind the increasing number of tropical storms.

The hurricane season, which runs from July 1st to November 30th, has produced storms like Eta, which struck Florida at the weekend after causing destruction and killing dozens in parts of Central America.
