Is this just a very slow start to the season, or is the season actually going to significantly underperform?

This is the general tropical discussion area. Anyone can take their shot at predicting a storms path.

Thank you for that clarification, Teban54, and that's highly probable, but with 91 dead and 50+ of those in Venezuela, as well as so many places not reporting their damage, I suppose it's possible, but at this point I'd say unlikely to be retired. Whether retired or not any storm that takes any life, is a storm that loved ones will like to see retired. I know this first hand.

Nate, Otto, and Cesar were all retired at the request of Costa Rica despite being lower than this, so it may come down to what their impacts were

Now that the models are still showing signs of life in the Atlantic late this month even going into December...I seriously think this season is actually trying to make up for the dead August. Maybe the overlying conditions this year were structured so that the hurricane season was merely delayed by like a month or so? So what we're plausibly going to see in the future may be more representative of late October/November conditions than late November/December conditions despite the calendar saying otherwise? And all of that August wave-breaking was more typical of July than anything?
