To accomplish what we are doing now in the age of fantastic remote sensing to classify TCs is pretty much unprecedented. People don't realize how catastrophic it was from the 30s to early 60s.
The NPAC is also shut down too. The EPAC was busy, but now that is coming down to normal % of ACE. Of course with the role of hurricanes moving heat from the tropics to polar regions, it makes me wonder how that gets messed up?
