I bet the NHC is squirming. The pattern seems heading to China and the Middle East. They are starting off the California coast and heading to China last year and this year the Middle East. One would think the NHC would notice this broad trend. Instead they call for another busy season for the states.

Global tranquility! O Noes!

By golly I could have sworn that I heard the season of 2007 was going to be disastrous, (again).

I have it on good authority that Hairy Goreter waved his magic wand and intoned.."Globisss Stormisss Repairessss!"

For additional enviorbucks he will continue to work his magic for the good of mankind! Of course, he would work better from a throne room in the White House!

Doofus Alert!

Fewer tropical storms. Another sure sign of global warming.

[Parley Baer]

This is funny. When that tropical storm formed off the East Coast in May all we heard was that a dire hurricane season in the making. We have had nothing since. Hahahaha.

They are so disappointed.

[RckyRaCoCo]

and the Weather Channel is...well...

[vpintheak]

It HAS to be because of Global warming! If that warm water wasn’t stopping that current things in the Atlantic, there would eb more tropical storm weather! Aargh! Bush’s fault!

[Strategerist]

I bet the NHC is squirming.

Umm, why?

There's only an average of one named storm every other year by the beginning of July.

Most Atlantic tropical activity, and virtually all the destructive stuff, occurs in a narrow time window from the middle of August through the end of September.

The peak of the Atlantic season is in September.

The level of Atlantic tropical activity in June and July, statistically, has nothing to do with the level of tropical activity in August and September - and in fact there seems to be a slight NEGATIVE correlation.

The degree to which people are practically going out of their way to be completely devoid of actual scientific knowledge on FR is fairly disturbing.

Though I have to say it's actually fairly common on many forums for people to simply not understand the typical timing of the Atlantic tropical season - people still have the persistent vague idea that somehow July should be the peak of activity, rather than September.

[The Great RJ]

Did not St. Algore preach that global warming was spawning hurricanes from hell?

[norwaypinesavage]

No major snow storms in North America, either. This is absolute proof of global warming.

[Sacajaweau]

I'm sure the explanantion will be that the upper atmosphere is connected to the lower atmosphere and when the upper atmosphere is saturated with blah, blah, blah.

I just go to my Almanac and look at the stats of the cycles of hurricanes to reinforce the idea that "weather changes" and is unpredictable "long term" and even short term.
