This is an “el nino” year: translation - fewer hurricanes. No need to be a meteorologist to understand that. Just look at history ... oh wait ... they have to fill empty hours on the Weather Channel so any discussion is up for grabs.
1997 was the last major el nino and with it came few hurricanes.

Wait. What? You mean weather changes????
I mean really. Who knew????
Exactly. Give it five years and we will be back to running out of names.
