Because the EPAC is in an inactive phase. It has been since 1995. Don't worry, things should begin to pick up by the end of July.

Remember, August and September are not only the peak for the Atlantic, but also the EPAC.

Another El Nino will be sending these Epac canes into Mexico and California.

I'm pretty sure we'll see at least one major hurricane in the EPAC this season.

We just had a recent La Nina and La Nina seasons tend to be quieter in the EPAC.

However, although rare, a Category 5 hurricane in the EPAC has occured during a La Nina. Hurricane Ava in 1973.

And in the Atlantic we had a major hurricane during an El Nino. Hurricane Andrew of 1992. So even with unfavorable conditions that doesn't mean we can't have a big cane.

If you look at this loop from the NHC you can see even more windshear affecting the Epac. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/watl/loop-wv.html I dont think it has to do with water temps. as much as unfavorable upper level winds. Thankfully the high majority of the Epac storms when they do develpment move harmlessly out to sea. If fact for beginners the Epac basin has only recently been discovered with satelite technology. Really hot here today August kind of heat.
