Atlantic Hurricane Season Sets Records – For Inactivity
With August ending, and with no named storms in the Atlantic, according to records, this is the first August since 1997 to not feature any named tropical storms or hurricanes and only the 18th time on record going back to 1851.
This graphic from the National Hurricane Center shows that the only activity is some areas of rain and thunderstorms that “may” go on to be tropical storms.
Data shows that globally, hurricane counts have remained unchanged since 1980. The year 2021 featured the fewest in that record.
Further showing a lack of activity, we are now just one day away from having the lowest year-to-date Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index in the North Atlantic Ocean basin since 1941.
The Associated Press seemed to think the worst is yet to come and had this to say in Calm before storms? Oddly quiet Atlantic despite forecasts:
A record-tying inactive August is drawing to a close and no storms have formed, even though it is peak hurricane season and all experts’ pre-season forecasts warned of an above-normal season. Nearly all the factors that meteorologists look for in a busy season are there.
Warm ocean water for fuel? Check.
Not a lot of wind shear that decapitates storms? Check.
La Nina, the natural cooling of the central Pacific that changes weather patterns worldwide and increases Atlantic storm activity? Check.
Yet zero storms formed.
Surprised ‘experts’ point to unusual persistent dry air and a few other factors. But each time they and computer simulations think something is brewing, nothing comes of it.
Despite what the Associated Press says, hurricane expert Dr. Ryan Maue says the reason for such low activity is the upper-level winds:
Ocean water is not the problem; plenty warm. But, wind shear due to pesky TUTTs or upper level troughs continues to wreck the Atlantic main development region.
Dr. Philip Klotzbach of Colorado State University summed up the failure of earlier forecasts claiming an “above normal hurricane season” in the Atlantic:
As I’ve said before, forecasting the weather and climate keeps you humble! The anemic Atlantic #hurricane response may also be due to 3rd year La Nina.
Very small sample size to do much with this, but dynamical models didn’t see this as an issue, as they forecast a busy season.
If only the media could be so humble. Up until a few days ago, they were still insisting that hurricane season will be busy.
You can bet though as soon as the first named storm happens, they’ll be back to blaming it on climate change.

Aug 31, 2022 CLINTEL – Things are Getting Better
Climate catastrophe headlines are everywhere – but what if they are not true? The CLINTEL World Climate Declaration, signed by over 1200 scientists and scholars from around the world, says there is no climate emergency and that we do have time.

It is funny when little goes on in the Atlantic warmist/alarmists are quiet but when a hurricane gets within 1,000 miles off the coast of America, they get excited when it nears to 500 miles, they are screaming in terror over it because they think a puny CO2 molecule group is causing it.

This is one are where MSM’s disinformation is coming back to bite it in its derriere. The 2013 IPCC report shows no correlation between extreme weather and increasing global temperature. Which in no way inhibits news organisations like the BBC (or its filmmakers) from spreading fear-mongering climate alarmist disinfo. Unfortunately for them a warmer Earth likely means fewer Atlantic hurricanes, so they have to make do with twaddle such as correlating heart attacks to climate change or the death of the Great Barrier Reef, resulting in increasing numbers of readers tuning out such rubbish.
