NOAA, the “experts,” predicted an “above-normal” hurricane season this year. Of course they predict that every year, and the public has been told for decades that humans and our use of natural resources is the cause of increased activity.
After Hurricane Katrina, the public was told that hurricanes would be more numerous and active than ever. Instead hurricane activity was extremely calm for ten years after Katrina. It was a record low for hurricanes.
Why didn’t Al Gore predict the ten year drought in major hurricanes?
In a humorous statement, the “experts” said a ten-year drought in hurricanes occurs once every 270 years:
It has been a decade since the last major hurricane, Category 3 or higher, has made landfall in the United States. This is the longest period of time for the United States to avoid a major hurricane since reliable records began in 1850. According to a NASA study, a 10-year gap comes along only every 270 years.
How the heck would anyone know that since records had only been kept since 1850?
And this year, as of today, August 5th, no hurricanes have formed in the Atlantic despite the dire predictions. Only four named storms, those with over 35 MPH have occurred. So, we get articles explaining why this has happened by the same “experts” that predicted the active season. The experts say that strong wind shear is “disrupting” the storms they predicted, then also say that wind shear is diminishing. Then they note that if storms still don’t form when the wind shear dies down, moisture and stability would be the cause of the reduced activity. Who knew that stability might reduce the chance of hurricane storms?
What a striking command of the obvious.
Here are some things that haven’t caused severe storms, or an active season this year,...

Bookies don’t take bets in the weather for a reason.
this is still early season for hurricanes. I hope they’re wrong on the predictions still. I got stuck on a cruise ship during a September storm. I like that type of thing since I was a Navy sailor but many of the passengers couldn’t stomach it.
I live right outside of New Orleans. Lived through Katrina, which occurred on August 29, 2005, and two others on that date since. Late August and most of September are the worst, so it’s too early to declare this hurricane season as a nothing burger.
I saw a report about how the annual African sand storm that sweeps across the Atlantic Ocean to N America was putting a damper on storm development. That was in late June so things may be revving up now ...
There’s still 3 months of hurricane season left. Don’t taunt Happy Fun Ball.
It’s still early. The Atlantic basin is about to open for business.
True. The peak of the season is usually around mid-September. .
I hope they have a great time!
The next year (2006) was the least active since 1997.
And you have to look at the charts. I'm seeing Cat 5 but the time was like 4 minutes.
Isn’t that just for ships on Lake Michigan?
How about a comparison plot:
Projected vs actual
I think weather prefiction is a swamp conspiracy to employ the otherwise unemployable, or just lazy palm readers.
We need a federal agency of witch doctors predicting hurricanes.
If the witch doctors have a better year than NOAA the witch doctors get all the funding going forward.
Follow the Science!
Lol.
Early season monster Saharan dust plume, then followed by Canadian wildfire smoke that made it all the way to the Gulf. Both are cloud-killers. There’s another huge smoke plume that will eventually make it to the East Coast this week and disrupt if not crush Disturbance 2.
Top of season is October 10th
Yeah, the dust puts a damper on canes forming, however, season peak is October 10th
I thought the peak of hurricane season was early September.
Nope 10/10
The peak of hurricane season in America, especially for the Atlantic basin (covering the U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean), occurs from mid-August through mid-October, with the absolute climatological peak around September 10. During this time, the majority of hurricanes and tropical storms form, and the potential for landfalls in the U.S. is highest.
