Looking back at the past 4 seasons, UA April forecasts have been a very good predictor of activity, in fact their forecast skill was better in those 4 Aprils than their June forecasts, wonder why is this?

It's because they look at sst anomalies in the Atlantic and how those anomalies are positioned. I know earlier this year people were talking about how sst anomalies are not everything (which is true), especially during the lull, but in the grand scheme of things, sst anomalies are a very good indicator of how generally active the Atlantic would be.

Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.
