Anomalously tranquil the Eastern Pacific...

Just look at this satellite picture...This is as quiet as you will ever see it during their season peak (late July/August).



Unfortunately, all the strong energy is being transferred to the wrong "arena" this year...the Atlantic.

It is possible that we'll see a record low number of storms in the Eastern Pacific this year, while the Atlantic sees a record high number of storms. Kind of interesting, isn't it?

The lowest the Eastern Pacific has seen (on record) is 8 tropical storms in 1977. The highest the Atlantic has seen (on record) is 21 tropical storms in 1933.

This is not a stretch if the current pattern continues...

True - it's almost as if the earth has suddenly shifted a few degrees west , placing the W. Carib/GOM/BOC in the same meteorological location formerly occupied by the EPAC...

Maybe it was that earth quake?

You might be on to something... According to the other thread, there are some hypothetical relationships.
