Watching the current maps and models, it appears the 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season is off to a slow start. For people that the depend on disaster porn (climate alarmists, media) that means no weather events to claim as being climate driven.

With no current areas of storm development, 2019 has had the slowest start since at least 2004 when Hurricane Charley was named on August 9th, 2004.

In a private email with top-notch hurricane forecaster Joe Bastardi, he concurs with that assessment and adds:

“…there is a chance that this could tie 1977 for lowest August ACE.”

ACE= Accumulated Cyclone Energy, an index used to measure TS/Hurr energy released into the atmosphere. 1977 had the lowest season for ACE.

NHC says nothing is likely ahead in the next 5 days:

Assuming no new tropical cyclones form by August 9th, the slow start of named storms would then go back to 2001 when the Tropical Storm Chantal was named on the 14th of August. 

The peak of the season lies ahead in September.
