It’s official. The 2022 hurricane prediction season is a bust. With only a few weeks left in October (November hurricanes are rare), there is nothing to see here. And I mean nothing.

As of this morning, nothing is coming. Nothing is getting ready. Nothing.
No storms, depressions, or disturbances, Oh, My!
But that’s not the news.
May 24, 2022: NOAA predicts above-normal 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season – “Ongoing La Niña, above-average Atlantic temperatures set the stage for busy season ahead.”
After July passed with no named storms and nearly nothing to speak of for activity, NOAA doubled down.
Aug 4: NOAA still expects above-normal Atlantic hurricane season – “Atmospheric and oceanic conditions still favor an above-normal 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, according to NOAA’s annual mid-season update issued today by the Climate Prediction Center.”
The media was, of course, happy to repeat this because it’s NOAA, right? Sure, they tamper with historical data and aid and abet the CLimate CUlt’s Marxist agenda, but their mission is to … do something or something. Even FOX News carried some water, though not with the sort of enthusiasm as other so-called media watchdogs.
Aug 14: Hurricane season 2022 running behind schedule: “Here are the important benchmarks to watch for – The accumulated cyclone energy produced by tropical systems so far in 2022 is 80% below an average year.”
Typically, El Niño seasons produce limited tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic basin, but the world is currently experiencing a La Niña.
Usually, during a La Niña, upper-level winds tend to be more relaxed, and water temperatures are warmer in the basin.
For the most part, La Niña has held up to its norms – water temperatures are warmer than average and large sections of the Gulf, Caribbean and Atlantic are free from hostile shear.

“Typically” took the season off, and everyone is baffled by it, but what does that mean?
After a half-century of satellite data and several decades into the computer age, the earth’s climate is still too complex for experts to understand. Getting it right increasingly looks more like luck than skill. And while we’ll take luck because it can save lives, we should not base political policy that expends trillions of dollars on a partisan agenda (Climate Change) based on the whimsy of shamans and medicine men who, despite all the advances, are still guessing and getting it wrong.
