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

384 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.

Hurricanes need some cool air surrounded by warmer air to start forming.

There’s a lot less cool air now so less hurricanes. The bad news is once they form they have a lot more energy to play with and increase in size and wind speed.
