– Why has there been such a drop in the amount of hurricanes and tropical storms this year?

378 views

Last year, they were already on the letter I (nine storms) by August. This year, we’re only on F (six storms). Is there a specific atmospherical reason for this, or is it just a strange coincidence?

Edit – I’m mostly talking about the US and that area, but if you’ve noticed the same thing in your geographical area, feel free to share.

Extra ELI5: I sold my sailboat last year, therefore this year’s Atlantic hurricane season is very mild. This is the same phenomenon that causes stocks to go down after you buy them or video game prices to go up dramatically after your girlfriend / wife holds a tag sale and you think it’s a good idea to contribute some of your lesser used possessions in support of their efforts to declutter the house.
