So the odds are that this year will be normal or perhaps slightly above normal as the current La Nina is about over. A much more accurate measurement of hurricane activity than named storms is ACE (accumulated cyclone energy.) Despite two cat. 5 hurricanes, last year's North Atlantic ACE was slightly below average. There is all kinds of information about hurricanes at Climate Audit, and unlike some of the other topics, it is easily understandable by the average person.
