They predicted above normal last year, too, and it did not happen. They revised their forecast about 1/3 of the way thru the year, so that they could claim to be on target.

A retired meteorologist quipped about the past and present forecasts. Here is a short version of his comments.

Back when I was the meteorologist, I would look at the thermometer and barometer and be wrong 24 hours in advance.

Now, they use computer models and computer programs and be wrong seven days in advance.

The hurricane forecasters use all their fancy computers, models from past years and try to forecast the entire season. They are wrong for a full six months for the most part.
