Not to mention The Azore High; which is a bit further west and south than normal, is squashing anything leaving the coast of Africa. While a high aloft is good for a develping system the the eastern ITZ is being hampered by being on the edge of it, the systems being virtually deflated of their convection.

I believe the Azore high should move back a bit east and the Bermuda set in a little more solidly. I think if the systems arent as 'shocked' when just exiting they should have a better chance when the hit the mid longitudes (55w-65w).

You really cant call the 1st three systems anything more than
big rain makers;none had any resemblence to even a well formed tropical storm.
