I run in temps like that all through the winter.  Makes me considerably faster than running at 90F.

This hurricane season is confounding experts and defying forecasts. What the heck is going on? | CNN

This is why I think human ability to predict a hurricane season is poor, the climate is too complex to be modeled very well.  Then they come up with "well, something else happened".  It's not a good prediction when that happens, simple as that.

They claim hot water makes for more hurricanes, and when it fails to happen, they talk about caveats, after the fact.  Hopefully things stay quiet now.

I think CSU said we'd have 27 named storms this season. NHC said 25.

We've had 5.

Peak season is September 10.

which is why I pay no attention to predicted number of hurricanes

I view "climate" broadly as way too complex to model.  WAY.  And yet, we try, which is fine with me, but the credibility of such models is in my view suspect.

Even predicting hurricanes seems to be more guesswork based on some very simple measurements.

An explanation of what they got wrong would be good.

Saharan dust and high wind shear are the culprits at this time.

They THINK those are two factors they didn't model, which could be true, and there could be other factors they don't consider at all.

Maybe they are a bit better than random.Maybe.  I could just predict 15 named storms each year and be about as accurate.

Gonna have to revisit this comment come November or so. I hope he's wrong, obviously.


Storms “will come back,” Klotzbach cautioned. “I still don’t see this season ending well.”

Saw this and it's similar to what I discussed a few days ago about the data center industry...
