“That’s the highest forecast that we’ve had,” Ken Graham, National Hurricane Center director, announced at the annual preseason media briefing in May. NOAA seconded the motion in its Aug. 7 update with a warning that the 2024 season “could rank among the busiest on record.” Every other major forecasting service was on board.

The “produced” early this year it would be a very bad hurricane season.

They were wrong.

They don’t want to give up their “climate alarmism”

These sick people desperately want terrible hurricanes and death and destruction to prove their misguided junk science .

The National Weather Service should hire some witch doctors and let them do some predictions.

If the witch doctors have better predictions then fire all the scientists.

So the idiots forecast a busy season. Then they re-issue a forecast in July-August to dial down the forecast, then they issue another forecast in September - October either dialing it down further or increasing number of storms depending on activity since the last forecast. At the end of the season: “We were pretty accurate…next season will be an even greater threat due to global climate change.” Rinse and repeat the cycle for next year.
