Re: E PAC 3rd quietest ever
I have read that quiet EPAC can mean an active Atlantic Season.. Lets see how that plays out this year.

Re: E PAC 3rd quietest ever
Generally, a quiet EPAC means active ATL. The unusual exception would be 1977 where both basins were quiet due to a combination of El Nino and unusual monsoonal patterns.

Only 1966 and 2005 have been slower. We all know what happened in 2005 and 1966 was a fairly bad year also.
