Well it looks like a fast start to the EPAC season will be underway very soon.

The EPAC is in an inactive phase as it has been since 1995.

However, like the Atlantic, an inactive period can still produce destructive and powerful storms.

In general, an active ATL season will result in fewer disturbances making their way into the EPAC before they develop which will tend to result in a lower than average EPAC season.

However, in 1990, both basins were very active. EPAC had 20 storms and the Atlantic had 14.
