The hurricane drought in the U.S. continues, as last year saw the lowest number of hurricanes since 1982, according to government storm data.
For the 2013 hurricane season which runs from June 1st to November 30th thirteen named storms formed in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Only two of those storms reached hurricane strength, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The National Hurricane Center reports: BASED ON THE 30-YEAR CLIMATOLOGY
THE AVERAGE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY IN THE BASIN IS 12 NAMED STORMS
6 HURRICANES
AND 3 MAJOR HURRICANES. FOR 2013
THE NUMBER OF NAMED STORMS WAS NEAR AVERAGE
BUT THE NUMBERS OF HURRICANES AND MAJOR HURRICANES WERE WELL BELOW AVERAGE.

They figure if they keep saying it, they can claim they were correct when it actually happens (like the record snow and cold this winter - except here in central Florida, where we had a very nice, mild winter!).
As to the mention of fewer hurricanes (instead of the more they keep predicting), Warmers will soon figure out how to spin this to show that they are still "correct" (and the "news" media will eat it up).
I want to know how many so-called meteorologists and climate scientists have jumped out of windows?
My teeth and right knee are better predictors of the weather than many of them are. I often get 36 hour warnings of things to come. And when my cats come in and put on their little coats and boots, I know that shit is about to hit the weather fan.
How about that? Globull warming cause more AND fewer hurricanes!
I’ve always said it must be nice to have a job where you only have to be right about 50% of the time.
Obama and Congress would be jealous of that success rate.
The Hurricanes are waiting for a GOP President
July 8, 2013 - Storm warning: Climate change to spawn more hurricanes
They just can’t admit to being wrong.
I wait for Joe Bastardi’s hurricane likely forecast as it is as close as they get for accuracy.
Star, it was Ike that took out the pier and much more in Galveston. When one comes into Galveston, it’s coming toward my house and I get my preps in order for power outage - will get an extra loaf of bread and two bags of ice and that’s all I need and I’ll get those before the mob hits the stores. Had no power for five days due to Ike but I was fine - had a portable TV that worked and my old land line phone that plugs directly in the wall worked.
But, wait! I’ve got a NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC from 2006 that says we will have bigger and badder hurricanes, because of GLO-BULL WARMING!
Now, Nat Geo would not LIE, now would they?
The climate is changing....for the better
I can't answer your question but this might be related to your point...
No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)There has not been a public debate about the causes of global warming and most of the public and our decision makers are not aware of the most basic salient facts:
1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming.
Its Climate Lock..
Yeah, I know it was “Ike” that took it out I - and that’s why I said the next hurricane that hit Galveston - which was “Ike”. I remember watching it on TV and thinking that it was definitely going to take out the pier. I was sad to see that happen.
And with that twister that hit us that Monday when Katrina hit New Orleans (actually a waterspout, technically), I never saw it coming, because the rain was fierce, while I was standing outside and it was plenty dark in the middle of that storm. I just noticed something funny about the winds and the rain coming in sideways, with the wind blowing very steady. I knew “something” was wrong and I went inside the building.
Twenty seconds after I came inside, it hit the building, blew out some windows, blew open a couple of doors and got the people inside screaming. If I had still been outside, I would have been blown out into the Gulf of Mexico. I missed that happening to me by intuition telling me to go inside.
Next time I’m down in Galveston, I want to see the new pier.
Oh great, now look what you've done, ya big meanie !
Any indication of this years’ storms? The polar vortices that have plunged into the GOM have a history of positive feedback, all that energy plunged into the tropics concentrate, and come rushing back to give equilibrium. Teleconnections.
