Re: Ed's August 2010 statistics blog.
This forum is the only place where I have seen an attempt to analyze the relative lack of activity in the northern hemisphere, as something noteworthy and potentially significant. I am still not clear why that is occurring except as a factor of the unusually hot conditions in the hemisphere this year, and I am unclear about why that is happening. I guess we will have to wait it all out and see if the activity levels return toward normal before the season is over. But if not the long range forecast models for tropical activity will have to be modified to include this year's data.
