A light hurricane season had been forecast just a couple months ago: “Citing cooler seas and the prospect of a weak El Nino, Colorado State University’s hurricane team lowered its 2009 Atlantic forecast Tuesday to 12 tropical storms, of which six could become hurricanes.”
Even that is now looking too extreme.
Here’s the scorecard a full six weeks into hurricane season 2009:
-
Tropical depressions zero
Tropical storms zero
Hurricanes zero
Major hurricanes zero
Our forecast: Al Gore and his global warming acolytes will soon begin cranking up the “Yeah, but…” excuse machine.
