What happened to hurricane season?
Global Warming! Before diving into the seasonal forecasts, let's take inventory on where the season stands. In an average season, 8 tropical storms, 4 hurricanes, and 1 major (category 3 or higher) hurricane form by this date. This year, we've experienced 10 tropical storms, 2 hurricanes, and no major hurricanes. So the numbers are within the confidence intervals of the projections. In other words nothing happened to hurricane season, it's just slightly off the average, nothing more... Though we've had close to the average number of total storms, most have been short-lived and/or weak. If you went out for a cup of coffee at any time this hurricane season, you would've missed many of them. Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2013-10-01 |
