You can quote Saunders as also saying, “Provided that the influence of the dry air and dust recedes, we expect hurricane activity to build during September. However, the chance the season will be active as a whole is now low.” In addition Steve Smith, an atmospheric physicist and vice president at Carvill, a reinsurance intermediary, “reported early indications that the Pacific Ocean is entering a weak El Niño phase that “’could well inhibit hurricane activity towards the end of the season.’”
TSR said in their report they have an “expectation of 13 tropical storms for the Atlantic basin as a whole, with six of these being hurricanes and two intense hurricanes.” There have been so far six tropical storms with two of the storms being hurricanes.
Lets hope the scientists know what they are talking about for everyone’s sake.
