I hope the do get it wrong. August, September and October are the worst. They are not wrong yet. Stand by. It’s just the beginning of hell.
Hey! It’s the annual “they screwed it up again” article while we’re still in the first quarter of the football game!
Maybe start firing some of these people like Trump did for the head statistician at BLS.
What a pathetically ignorant article.
Titled “ ...another season of failed hurricane predictions from the NOAA” - the season is not even over.
Yet the goofy story used a title implying that the season is over.
Hey, I could be a climate scientist too! Now let’s see - Trump ends funding for USAID and the hurricanes don’t form. Coincidence? I think not.
Way too early yet.

I’m no the sky is falling chicken little but if memory serves most of the storms came late in the season last year.

However, if you watch the weather channel you’ll find out according to them we’re all doomed.
(cough) wait’ll them ‘canes (cough) run into the Canadian (cough) smoke...
All I hear around here is Saharan Dust.
Maybe, the global warming has something to do with that!
Hurricanes are powered by the difference between tropical hot air masses and cooler masses in moderate zones.
The global warming (and cooling) always happened predominantly in moderate and especially polar zones, the tropics have never been affected by it too much.
The ultimate example is planet Venus, where temperature at poles is just few degrees cooler than that on equator.
Since the temperature gradient is getting less and less on the Earth, hurricanes are loosing power!
The “global warming” lobby scares us by assigning it all kind of terrible consequences.
In reality, Co2 and global warming are good for you!
Why not enjoy warmer weather, less hurricanes, better plant growth?!
Mid-August to mid-October is the peak USA hurricane time period.
October is the peak USA hurricane month.
The spring-summer forecast for Seattle weather called for exceptional heat and drought.
They got drought right - just 0.01 inches of rain in July.
Average rain in July - our driest month - is 0.60 inches.
However, the temperatures have been quite pleasant.
Maybe 10 days in the high 80s to the low 90s.
Official Seattle temps are measured at Sea-Tac Airport.
Sea-Tac is usually 1 degree to 4 degrees warmer than downtown Seattle.
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.
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.
