A new hurricane season record will be set this week as a historic and still strengthening El Niño stifles tropical development in the Atlantic.
To date, no hurricanes have formed in the basin, despite this week marking the peak of the season on average - and there's no sign of development in the near future.
It means a new record will be be set for the latest date in the satellite era (1960s onward) without an Atlantic hurricane forming.
Currently, the record is 11 September, set in 2002 and 2013.
In an average season, there would have been eight named tropical storms and three hurricanes by this point.
This year, however, there have only been five tropical storms: Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly and Edouard.
This story is hidden away on at the bottom of the page in the BBC Climate section of it's news website. I don't think the main stream press (including the Guardian) have mentioned it at all. This could be because it does not fit the narrative of extreme weather becoming more frequent. On reading this I began to doubt my previously held steadfast belief in the oncoming Climate Catastrophe, but fortunately I kept on reading to the bottom of the page where I saw a explanation:
While El Niño is the natural warming of the tropical Pacific, it can disrupt weather patterns around the globe...
and then a load of technical stuff about wind shear. But the point is I don't remember the models predicting any of this and, to me, it just looks like aftertiming and hastily made up explanations.

If it's climate change in the years when there's more hurricanes than normal, what is it in all the many years when there's less hurricanes than normal? Whatever the weather does the answer is always climate communism.
