Good news, for the first time since 2015, no hurricane made landfall in CONUS.


Don't get cocky about hurricane season 2026.

According to the (BS) 1990 predictions of the Enviro-Fascists, 2025 was unsurvivable and most of us are underwater…

According to 2024 predictions 2025 was a moderate hurricane season with a lot of CONUS landfalls.

So maybe now, since the Enviro-Fascists propaganda has been mugged by reality, perhaps we can listen to some real scientists.

I'm not sure we have any left. Anyone trying for advance degrees on the subjects had to get past the gate keeping true believers. They either bent the knee or didn't pass.

Reality has been hitting the Enviro-Fascists upside the head for years and it hasn't help.

Yeah, but there was Hurricane Melissa. Most powerful landfalling hurricane in recorded Atlantic basin history. So whilst CONUS escaped other places got clobbered very badly.

The most recent thing I saw is that it isn't global warming or climate change. The latest buzzword is Climate Breakdown, as if there's something broken that can be glued together.

Here's a link to the best source of hurricane stats (but not landfalls). If you look in the basin archives you'll see that globally the Accumulated Cyclone Energy shows no trend, yet North Atlantic shows an increasing trend. https://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Re ... loc=global

I see global but not North Atlantic. ?

The best way to look at how active hurricane seasons are is to use ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy). The more powerful a storm is, the bigger its contribution to a season's ACE score. Likewise the longer lived a storm, the bigger its contribution to a season's ACE score.

2025 had an ACE of 132.5. That counts as slightly above normal.

@NW2 there's a drop down menu on the right allowing you to select which basin archive you are looking at, and then a selector on the left to choose what measurement you want

Looking at the North Atlantic data, I'd suspect that there's a rather major problem of data collection bias in there. Prior to 1965, that's understandable and well known. But the whole definition of ACE requires someone to know the wind speed of every tropical storm at each 6 hour increment. That's a fairly hard problem, particularly 25 and 50 years ago,

There's also a pronounced dip in ACE from around 1976 to 1991, although the number of named storms, named storm days, major hurricane numbers, and major hurricane days don't reflect it. Either the storms that were identified were weaker, there was a bias in the data collection, or the data set was filled in with interpolated numbers that didn't match reality. I can't say which one it is, although there are probably articles on it.

Thanks!!

Did Kristi Noem actually say Donald Trump kept the hurricanes away??

I’m sure it was a bit of humor

"I’m sure it was a bit of humour"

Sir, your sarcasm is sharp as freshly flaked obsidian shards !! Kudos !!!

Let us not forget Trump famously claimed, despite prior warnings, that an inbound hurricane would not strike Florida to impinge upon one of his MAGA Mega-Rallies.

US Weather bureau hastily re-drew their 'horn' charts, contradicting prior and 'Rest of World' track modelling.

However, hurricanes respond to hot Atlantic water and air, not utterances from White-House or on Social Media.

Said hurricane stayed on original track; Fortunately, not a 'Big Cat', it did not wash-out the Rally...

It didn’t dare!

Competing hot air. Hurricane didn’t stand a chance!!
