STORM2K

I have seen accusations that, recently, the NHC is becoming more reluctant to name storms: that the NHC is not naming storms that would have been named in previous years, specifically from before 2022.

To me, this seems outlandish: we have better satellite equipment than ever and we are able to catch more storms than ever before. Surely this means that more short-lived tropical/subtropical cyclones will be detected. Where are these allegations coming from?

I wouldn't say reluctant like some other RSMC's. They will circle/tag and monitor any area that has a chance for development.

But I would say more stringent requirements. They want an area to be a TC for a little while before calling it a TC.

Why use the term conspiracy? I don't think Storm2K is interested in the opinions of people who can't disagree with someone, including a government agency, without thinking it's some kind of conspiracy.
