Why The 2006 Hurricane Season is so quiet?
sooo someone please explain.. Nothing happened yet for the past couple of months. Seriously, I thought there was a prediction that this year's hurricane season will be worse than last year's hurricane season.. with the 1st year anniversary coming ? will something happen? out of curiosity

It's looking more like the 2004 season. The upper level winds have been very strong compared to last year. The first big blast just came off of Africa, denoting the beginning of [Simoon says.]

I'm not really sure, but then again metrology isn't really my thing. It is a good sign though. Oh course, they hurricane season still has awhile left and is still capable of a nasty surprise.

it's kinda like stretching a really big rubberband way far back and then... we are likely gonna get pounded relentlessly as the seasons draws to it's end.

I've found that you can tell more by watching the water vapor images. They reveal factors at play that almost appear to be alive, like the proverbial butterfly in China flapping it's wings sort of thing. As crazy as this sounds, and what some would call fate, some storms almost seem to have a destiny of sorts. As if a giant hand pushes and prods them to their final place. Chris was just the opposite, it was destroyed, as opposed to helped. Silly theory I know, but they're interesting storms nonetheless.

yeah we aint out of the woods yet. the peak of the season is usually mid aug through mid oct. so pray sh*t don't pick up now.

This is an election year. Maybe the Bush administration is holding all hurricanes until after the November elections. His poll numbers are down. I sense a right-wing plot.

the sea is cooler this year then last year. only explenation is because of all the ice that has melted, has cooled the sea somwhat

I kind of knew it was gonna be this way, see, Hurricane. like last year, even if we are in a warming trend, is not a thing, that you see that often, i remember that when we had our ice storm in 1998, they where saying things like, there will be another season like that next year, of course it did'nt happen in 1999. And never happened since. C.

They where talking at the time, of El nino, and Global Warming.

It is good the season has been quiet so far. This could just be the calm before the storm (pun intended). As Grendel said Peak season is mid Aug-Mid Oct. So we can decicde if its quiet or not in sept.

Funny, from the topic title you'd think you'd want a hurricane season!

no i am just thinking and curious. Well, its because maybe yet again the predicitons are wrong since Scientist predicted this year was going to be worse than last year .

It hasn't started yet. Hurricane season is autumn.

Actually, the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, but the amount of hurricanes is usually at it's highest in late August through September. Really, it's the next month that will begin to see how bad this season will be.

For once I agree with Sammy 100%. September will be the month to watch, because this is how a typical year plays out, not like last year, which was bizarre.

Hurricane season not living up to stuff?
Check this out, Earth's gravity change playing havoc with the ocean's currents?
http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7004510869

The result could be a critical change in the composition of the main ocean current that flows past Europe's northern edge, blocking off warmer waters that normally flow there and -- ironically -- making Northern Europe's weather colder than normal, at least temporarily, while the rest of the globe continues warming.
The report on Greenland is being published today in the on-line edition of the journal Science by the University of Texas scientists at Austin, including Chen, aerospace engineer Byron Tapley and geologist Clark Wilson.

i Know next to nothing about hurican seson or how quite it has been thisyear, but afterreading a few post i might beable to show sum light on the topic,

one off you said theat the ocan is colling beauses of polar icecaps melting this would have an impact on regularity of huricans as hurican form over area of warm water, i not quite sure how, and it is the water that basicly gives it it energy, cooling water means no-energy, meaning no huricans,

someone eles mention the current going off, these could be contrubuting to the falling sea temputer, some one told me dis, i not sure if it true so dnt quto me, but i heard that huricans folo the current into sure then go of over the land masses, if the curretn have changed then they could just bespinning inciurcle

just a few possible resons

There are so many variables taken into account for the formation of hurricanes that it is hard to predict it.

What I find funny is how people politicalize hurricanes and blame them (or the lack of them) on global warming. If this season has no hurricanes at all, people will say it is because of global warming. If the season has lots of hurricanes, people will say it is because of global warming. If there is the average amount of hurricanes, people will say it is because of global warming.

Each car we drive is like a tiny volcano. It's foolish assume that these tiny volcanoes do not add up. It's even more foolish to ignore them, as if they weren't real.
