Below average hurricanes

After last years hurricane season it seemed that every weather person in the world forecasted another "heavier than normal" hurricane season this year. I had no way of knowing, but I thought it would be interesting if we had a lighter season than normal. So far, yep. As of today, Fox news just reported that we have "fewer than average hurricanes for this time of the year." I about busted a gut laughing.

It just goes to show you, as exact as science is, there are incalculable variables that affect the weather and even the best meteorologist can't predict the weather. Sure, accurate observations, educated forecasts, but looking into the future is still not a skill taught in weatherman school.
