The SST Anomalies continue to fall, now down to +0.58 C for the average for November. While this is still quite above average, it is just less than half the record breaking anomaly we saw in June of this year (+1.19 C). This is great news, and we can just hope that the SST Anomalies continue to fall. While average to below average SST anomalies won't necessarily prevent an active season (14-17 Named Storms), it can help to suppress hyperactive seasons (18+ named storms) and also prevent the development of excessive major hurricanes...however, it still has a bit further to go before we are in this region.

Just as hurricanes cool SSTs my tunnels do the same thing.
