There's this strange perception that some sort of recordbreaking season was forecast last year because of global warming.

Which is completely fictional, of course.

An above-average season in terms of total activity was forecast - a slightly below average season happened, because of an unforecast El Nino (which can be very difficult to forecast itself, and you have to forecast the state of ENSO to forecast the Atlantic Hurricane season.)

And very few storms hit the US. Nobody really hyped a specific US landfall threat other than the incompetent buffoons at AccuWeather.

Nobody really hyped a specific US landfall threat

Repeat of the story from the Guardian mentioned earlier:

A Category Three hurricane features winds of more than 110mph.

Researchers believe the chance of a major storm like this making landfall in the US next year [2006] is 82%.

It is most likely to strike the east coast, including Florida.

The bold face type is in the original.
