Hurrican Season?

Could the hurricane season really be 1/3 over and there have been no hurricanes in the Atlantic yet?
What happened to the "busier than normal" season as predicted by "scientists" and attributed to "global warming"?
(and apparently I do not know how to spell hurricane!)

remember, god exists and global warming does not...
i'm glad you can ignore the massive heatwave in california, midwest and eastern states as well as europe ... i'm glad you can ignore the flash flooding in ohio and i'm glad you can ignore the typhoon season currently happening in asia ...

Na, Polaris is right... I live in North Carolina, and we rarely get a hurricane before the end of August. They usually start rolling out of the Atlantic into the gulf or up the East coast in September and continue strong through October. By November it's pretty much over with.
So the vast majority of anything that will happen, usually occurs in September/October.
But besides all of that... predicting how many hurricanes there will be in a year is kinda dumb. My parents live right on the coast and they could care less how many somebody is predicting - they just care when one is coming their way.
Besides, the news media over hypes the shit our of hurricanes...... Go Jim Cantore!
Wouldn't it make sense that if hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30, that the highest concentration should theoretically come near the mid point? And yes, that would be the end of August, but we are well behind at this point.

now, a lot of this stuff people debate on has a lot of truth in it, cause and effect that type of thing, the trouble arises when you get too much of the gloom and doom type arguments. It's simply that gloom and doom are far, far more interesting than a more truthful but moderate approach. The fringe opinion will always make more money, because that's what impassions people.
Of course, that's just my observation from living in a hurricane prone area for the last five years - and may simply be the pattern for the Gulf Coast.
You are "funny".

climate change scientists have long indicated that we will have an increase in extreme weather events - more so than what is "normal" ... is it possible that there would have been a flood in ohio without the impacts of climate change? ... sure, maybe ... but, in no way would we have the number of significant events ...
now, this is just what we can see on a daily basis - we haven't even gotten into the impacts associated with disease and animal extinctions and migration routes ... which are harder to get across to the average person ...
do you not believe in the science of climate change? ... do you think that this heat wave across the northern hemisphere is "normal"?
as for the doom and gloom - again, people have to ask themselves what consequences they are prepared to accept ... its easy living in north america where we have this high standard of living to ignore the fallout to others ... how many have died this year alone due to the heat and flooding throughout the world? ... it's too late for those people ...
considering the UK has just completed the hottest July since records began then global warming appears to be alive and well
just because the US didnt get its "busier than normal" prediction by "scientists" (quite why the scientists are in quotations beats me) doesnt mean that the rest of the world is sitting with perfect weather....
not the scientists, but the journalists. While last year a paper in "nature" showed a possible link between the frequency of hurricanes and global warming, we're talking about statistical distributions that happen on climatological time scales. That means: usually to define an event relevant to climate you need a time serie of 30 or more years (no less than 30). So: if this year you had a storm or a lot of warmth, that's one extreme weather event, but you need to report it more or less regularly for about 30 years to associate it to climate change.
