Re: Is this just a very slow start to the season, or is the season actually going to significantly underperform?
Looking at the prior 10 years, the average number of hurricanes from storms born in Sept is only two. So, Sept of 2022 has already exceeded that mark with three. Of the last 10 years, only 2020 had more with four and 2022 still has another 12 days to go.
Fiona's ACE is likely going to end up quite impressive.

This season is starting to feel more like 2014 than 2013, not as many storms but the few storms at peak season that did form were mostly hurricanes in the subtropics.

Re: Is this just a very slow start to the season, or is the season actually going to significantly underperform?
Given we have the potential to see 2 systems get named within the next days or so, I genuinely have a feeling that the wave-breaking we saw earlier this season simply delayed the peak and cut down on total NSs (maybe ACE potential too). I found it very hard to believe that especially in a true La Nina like this and with warm MDR ssts, that the wave-breaking would have shut everything down at all points in the season while prohibiting major systems to form like it did in 2013. If anything, imho, Danielle and Earl really helped reintroduce instability in the tropics, and Fiona may also help out as it recurves and blasts through the warm subtropics. Merely weeks ago some talked about the possibility of having zero NSs after Earl, which I was quite skeptical about.
I think October and later this month will be quite interesting to watch. Who knows what October will do, especially with all that warm ocean water in the W. Atlantic?

The wave-breaking was dramatically overplayed and overfocused, and (like the TUTT back in June) seems people were treating this as something that's somehow new to this season or unique to inactive ones like 2013.
In the end, it more likely impacts steering more than anything as we're seeing a lot of early recurves, same as years like 1976 and 1981.

Ill give it to ya, CFS did not do too bad thru September so far.

Guess it really goes to show how things can change, I thought this season was toast but Earl saved it IMO by cooling down the subtropics, Fiona is only going to strike even more a blow to those SST when it gets up to Canada too. Now we will finally have more of a temperature gradient between the tropics and extra-tropics...the switch has finally flipped, perhaps a month behind schedule but it has actually happened.

Re: Is this just a very slow start to the season, or is the season actually going to significantly underperform?
Just a little over a week ago too, the Atlantic looked dead and many including myself were becoming doubtful of what the season would bring. Shows how quick it can change.
August is the new July.

Back in 2007, a week after Cat 5 Dean, and less than a week before Cat 5 Felix, even before 2013, people were still canceling the season because of models, so I doubt this year will change anything
I don't recall who it was, but back in August somebody made a point of, what would the reactions be here if we had 2021 but flipped, starting off with a storm or two and then having a massive lull and then everything just came almost back to back after. Seems that's playing out in the end.

I'll guess we'll see how the next few weeks pan out. The Atlantic has generally been extremely inactive, so if we have lots of activity over the next few weeks maybe this season can still be busy. Let's see.

Eh probably not. Next year during the last week of August, we'll be having the exact same discussions. 2013 reminders will never die!

We already have had 3 hurricanes this month. There will very likely be at least a 4th from 98L. If Gaston were to become a H, there would then very likely be 5 this month. If we get to 5, that would tie for the most in Sept. since the active era started in 1995!

As usual, the handwringing over seasonal busts prove to be at the minimum, too hasty. I guess you can argue about hyperactive and all that but this pattern we are in now is pretty darn explosive. Let's see how September finishes!

What are the previous record holders? I know 2017 has to be one, are there any other years?
I remember someone said active Augusts often have quiet Septembers and vice versa. This year is probably the most extreme of a "vice versa" scenario you can get.
