Where are the hurricanes?

I believe in man-made global warming. The chemistry and maths are there. Its real. But like weather its rather capricious to predict its long term effects. No one really knows how it will play out. Will higher temps cancel out that effect with more rain and cloud? Will it cause the Atlantic Conveyor to fail and force colder and longer winters in the Northern hemisphere? Will war, A/I and disease reduce population anyway so why worry?
The weather forecasters, meteorologists and the like have been very forthright on hurricanes and said global warming makes them more dangerous and common. But there is a problem. This is the warmest year on record but the Atlantic has had ZERO hurricanes form in the hurricane season. Zero. This is the first time that has happened this late in the season since 1914. How come ? With El Nino raging down there and all the conditions as hot as the recent record seasons for intense hurricanes then why no hurricanes?

Yeah this is what gets me too, the science part makes sense but predicting exactly how it plays out is a whole different beast. Kinda wild that this record heat year has basically no hurricanes so far, feels like it should be the opposite tbh. Guess nature still got some tricks we dont fully understand yet lol

@thedevilinme - I am in the north, so I do not fear the Volcano, but I am sorry for the Chianti.

Italy needs to worry about Volcano and a poor Chianti season

They’re all in the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii has had the rarity of having TWO hurricanes hit this year, and the most recent one (Hurricane Lowell) prompted the first tornado watch in Hawaii’s history.

El Niño in the Pacific Ocean causes a change in the jet stream that produces strong wind shear in the Atlantic Ocean, which makes it very difficult for hurricane development. Living in a part of the US (Florida) where hurricanes seem to hit annually, I am extremely grateful for such a quiet season.
I am more worried about the collapse of the Atlantic Conveyor and how much havoc it will cause in the northern hemisphere, especially in Europe. I think the failure of the Atlantic Conveyor will be more destructive than any other effect of global warming we've seen to date.

Be blessed that they haven't shown up yet, cause when they do
it may not be what you wanted.
