Will,the 2006 has not reached the peak yet and that is why you are seeing that is slow.The peak of the season starts on August 15 and runs thru September 30th with the peak day on September 10th.

Will, all I can say is God Bless you, my friend. To answer your question though, this year is actually above average. Your just used to the FREAK year of 2005. Don't you worry though, you will get what you are seeking, I am afraid.

Will, that's a good question. He are a few years where it didn't start until late. Andrew didn't form until August 16th, 1992, Camille August 14th, 1969, Betsy August 26th, 1965. There was one storm that was tracked in 1914 and it didn't form until September 14th. 2005 and I believe 2003 were crazy years. Hopefully we won't see anymore storms this year, but that's a lot of wishing. :D

Remember, we have already had three named storms. It has not really been slow, just nothing like last year, which was absolutely nuts!

Exactly,IMO it will take a few years for some people to realize that what happened in 2005 was a abnormal event and it will not repeat for many years or decades to come.And that is why we are seeing some posts about dead season,it's boring etc,etc,etc.............

2004 didn't even have it's first named storm until August, as EDR1222 posted, we have already had three this year.

the season still has a shot at being above normal, but the pattern needs to change fast

Will, I suggest going to a website that has hurricane archives and check out years past. I was just playing around in Weather Underground's tropical archives a short while ago and noticed that some seasons didn't have the first named storm until Sept. (as many here have informed). The URL for Weather Underground is http://www.wunderground.com. Once there, click on Tropical. The archives are on the left hand side about halfway down, if memory serves. Happy surfing!
