Won't be surprised if the WPAC passes it's yearly average of 42.4 when Maria is all said and done.

I don't think Beryl will generate much, but I think Maria could rack up the WPAC numbers a good bit

Tall order, but Maria '17 hit 44.805 units. Let's see how close Maria '18 can come to that number.

Atlantic should get some more ACE from TD 3/Chris.

WPAC has surpassed the EPAC. Now let's see how much more ACE Maria gets to extend the lead especially as EPAC is in a lull for now. Meanwhile in the Atlantic,Beryl keeps adding some ACE units and soon to be Chris will add some more.

WPAC has sprinted away from EPAC with MARIA as of the 21:00 UTC warning picking so far 24 ACE units and it will continue to get many more in the comming days.Also WPAC has gone ahead of the average ACE to date (44.7 average vs 47.7 for 2018 season so far) Meanwhile,the Atlantic is getting a few units from Beryl now remnant and from Chris that could get much more if it turns into a Hurricane.

A rare sight to see all four basins in the Northern Hemisphere with above average ACE.

WPAC at 59.5. The rest of the Northern Hemisphere basins at 59.4. What a powerhouse in Maria's 35.8. Pushes us right ahead of the YTD of 47.4.

While the Norh Atlantic,EPAC and NIO are quiet for now,the West Pacific will add some more ACE units to widen even more the gap with SON-TINH to it's overall total (59.9) as of 15:00 UTC. Tropical Depression 94W when it develops will add some more.

The WPAC has a lot of activity at this time but will it translate in big ACE numbers? EPAC should get some ACE units in the next couple of weeks but depends on how strong the future systems will be to get a good total or not.

After all that activity with 5 TC's at once with 4 of them becoming a TS and the last 2, Typhoon Wukong, and soon another typhoon in Jongduri... The WPAC maintains it's lead over the yearly average of 63.6 vs 68.9 now.

WPAC The only major driver in ACE right now. More than half of the world total and is above average in most locally...

2018 is still above even past hyperactive seasons at 14.4, but that advantage won't last much longer as the Atlantic remains dead for the next couple of weeks, at least.

:uarrow: And the Atlantic would have to be dead until September for the ACE to hit the below average mark.

The eastern Pacific has now fallen below average in ACE.

No surprise given the unrelenting shear which has been detrimental to every single disturbance, invest and tropical cyclone this month in that basin.

@splillo
After #Hurricane #Beryl and #Chris drove ACE up above the 90th percentile in early July, the Atlantic hurricane season has flatlined, and likely to continue to through mid August, bringing 2018 back to near normal.
