Another thing to remember:

1998 did not see its first hurricane until August 22nd. And yet, 1998 ended at 14/10/3.

2001 did not see its first hurricane until September 9th. And yet, 2001 ended at 15/9/4.

...just an update:

Image 2006 compared to active seasons.
Image 2006 compared to climatology.

Still above the 30- and 155-year averages. Of course, with two invests out there and the peak of the season coming up... I foresee the 11-year average (1995-present) being threatened.

So the title of this thread is more true than I thought.

The season is pretty boring right now. :roll: I just hope it picks up soon so that there is SOMETHING to track.

Yes, but we're still above normal in terms of activity.

Yup. It could still end up above normal if we get a couple storms here in August and a regular active September.

While I agree with you to some extent senor, look at how pathetic the storms have been that have formed. Alberto had one brief moment of glory, otherwise a poor excuse for a TS, Beryl looked worse, and Chris just suddenly vanished in thin air (no pun intended).

The Atlantic has produced dismal, poor excuses for Tropical activity this year so far. There does seem to be something different about this season that we haven't seen in quite sometime that is preventing anything to really get going - I do expect things should ramp up very soon though but only because climatology says so - with a lacking MJO, strong TUTT, SAL, and a possible developing el nino it is possible we can only rack up 10-12 storms this year but I still doubt it.

Do you think 1933 would have had even more named storms if satellite technology was available at the time. It seems to me a short lived at sea storm could easily go unrealized in that age.

Are you basing this on storm totals or ACE Mike?

It is pretty quiet. It feels like Hurricane Season isn't even here.
