It's the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season but - very unusually - there are currently no tropical storms or hurricanes.
The last named tropical storm 'Fernand' weakened in the mid-Atlantic on 28 August.
And there are no storms predicted by the National Hurricane Centre over the next week, despite forecasts for a busier than average season, which runs from 1 June to 30 November.
However, forecasters suggest the current lull in activity will be short-lived with a flurry of storms to come later in the season...
Multiple factors for lull
In a special report from CSU addressing the quiet spell, there are three main factors explaining why the season has become so quiet.
The first is that the tropical Atlantic has become 'dry and stable'.
This means there isn't enough moisture and atmospheric instability for big thunderstorms to develop and sustain themselves to grow into tropical cyclones.
Another factor is that there has been an increase in the wind shear - changes in wind speed and direction with height - over the western Atlantic.
This wind shear is important in tropical storm development. If it is too high it can rip apart developing storms.
And lastly, there hasn't been a supply of increased thunderstorm activity in west Africa, which would normally travel west into the Atlantic where they can be the starting mechanism for developing tropical cyclones.
We've had lulls in hurricane activity before. Indeed, there are similarities to only last year.
In June and July 2024, Hurricane Beryl devastated parts of the Caribbean and broke records as the earliest storm ever to reach Category 5 - an intensity usually seen during peak season.
It then became unusually quiet with no activity between 21 August and 9 September, the most prolonged lull in hurricane numbers for around 50 years.

Oddly enough... They're not blaming it on global warming... I guess that's because global warming is supposed to cause lots and lots and lots of storms... And this narrative is no storms.
Because “climate change” is a far-left communist fraud for the ignorant.
Because Trump.
Don’t worry. I’m leaving on a cruise on Saturday in the Western Caribbean. The hurricanes will start then.

OMG !! Was USAID funding Hurricanes ,LOL
It’s called weather. Colloquially, wait around long enough, and it will change. Most of the reason is probably a change in El Niño and La Niña. Nevertheless, the media has the sads because there is death and destruction from natural disasters they can try to hang on Trump.
Uh oh!!!
So real climate doesn’t fit the commie climate narrative?
Oh my!
‘expected’
The number one word. Obviously the pros don’t know what to expect. Their ‘expectations’ are based on what they are ‘expected’ to anticipate and what they want us to react.
The sickos who have incorrectly predicted (and root for) a bad season and the end of the world will now attempt to explain what is currently going on. Hahahaha.
We could use one where I live, Lake Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi will be out of water by Christmas.
The only thing that will bring the lake up is a huge rainfall event in the watershed west of San Antonio
Since I’ve lived here droughts have dropped the lake levels to below 50% many times
Only a tropical storm or hurricane has brought it back
I live north of Mathis so I have a water well
I have 2 canals on my property and they are bone dry. There is an island north of me, at least it was an island
Drill, baby, drill - water wells for Corpus Christi
They discussed desalination but never acted on it
Because the friction from Zelensky's Homo Dancing hasn't heated the atmosphere enough this season.
LOL...
“Not enough moisture in the atmosphere” — but we’ve been told for DECADES that there was going to be MORE evaporation, more moisture in the atmosphere, and bigger and far more dangerous hurricanes as a result. How odd they don’t comment on that!
and...
“There hasn’t been a supply of increased thunderstorm activity in west Africa” — Might not enough moisture in the atmosphere has something to do with that?
It all adds up to one BIG finding — their climate models aren’ worth shit and spending trillions on “green” energy is a fool’s errand. “When will they ever learn? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the Atlantic hurricanes.”
C’mon, man. Saharan Dust.
All that flooding on the Frio and Nueces never even made it to Choke Canyon.
Imelda to the left of me,
Humberto to the right,
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with calm
Trump put a tariff on them.
Any Hurricane originating outside of US territorial waters will have a 25% tariff placed on anything it brings ashore.
Just get it over with; “IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
