Wasn’t this exactly the same pattern we saw last year? I feel if we took this map and compared it to the same one from last yeR at this exact time, it’d be like looking at the same image.

Great thread here from WeatherTiger.

I was looking up how many times we have had a year where no tropical storms or hurricanes hit the USA mainland. I honestly didn't expect to find any, but according to google AI, there have been several years that has happened, which shows how bad my memory is getting lol. Anyway, I know it's too early to say for sure, but it's quite possible 2025 might be added to that list.

I think a TS will hit. Caribbean will become a hotbed in October and something will get into Gulf and hit a state. Might not be a Hurricane but instead a weak TS. I’d put those odds at 70%.

2025 has already had a tropical storm landfall back in July with Chantal.

Good call. I totally forgot about that one.

We still have the latter half of September and October/November to get through, but if the claims that nothing big's going to happen again until November 30 are true, then it really throws in some key questions we will have to ask ourselves.

How did Erin happen? It takes more than just warm water to fuel a hurricane that intense and long-lived, so was August somehow more conducive for activity than September? Was the 2022/2024/2025 quiet peak season behavior just a one-off event, or are we going to see more of this kind of behavior in future years in the 2020s and perhaps even the 2030s?

This season is reminding me of years like 1980 and 1988. They were during the -AMO era and both years had few MHs, but 1988 managed to end up with three.

What I’m saying those years were duller and quieter, but they had some really strong Category 5s. 1980 with Allen and 1988 with Gilbert.

Erin formed during a relatively brief period of less hostile conditions and took advantage, the same could be said about a storm like Andrew in 1992. Hostile Atlantics make powerful hurricanes less likely, not impossible.
