We got some data from a Scientist Birdie.

Oo, we're crunchin' numbers.

Mostly approximate,  but close.

We have analyzed an approximate region for the Atlantic Hurricane Basin.

Form 5° N to 45° N and West of 10° W to the Americas Coastline.

The region is show below.

In no way is this intended to reduce the seriousness of hurricanes and their destructive potential.

This is purely an analysis and is for informational purposes, only.

Make of it as you will.

Seems the analyzed Atlantic Basin is a bit hotter, but also seems to be a miss on the number of storms.

After the peak in 2005, it appears the storm count has stopped it's growth.

2017's average temperature is based on Year to Date from Jan to Sep.

Since Oct to Dec are declining temperature months, the average is not expected to rise above last year's.
