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

386 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.

The stratosphere is significantly cooler this year in the southern hemisphere because of the hunga tonga eruption in January. Any meteorologists know how this would affect northern hemisphere whether patterns?
