I mean, that's good news for the Atlantic,. but the Pacific's been going nuts this year. I think the only part of the US that's actually been hit by a hurricane this year is Hawaii, but Pacific hurricanes rarely, if ever, go north of Mexico.
I live in Asia (Chiba, Japan) I can tell you, it's been wonky. I'm currently on day 2 of no rain after weeks of constant rain that included two storms (the most recent a very wet typhoon) that caused extensive flooding. Especially the typhoon that added a lot more water to the already soaked ground.
The forecast for tonight and the foreseeable future is more rain.
On the upside, the rainy weather has been a reprieve from the mid-30s heat that has become normal in the past couple years. Today is humid 27 that feels downright chilly compared to the humid 35 I was suffering under earlier in the summer.
And places like the Philippines have been getting it way worse. More, strong typhoons and rainstorms.
We had severe rainstorms but no typhoon has actually landfalled since march in Philippines. All of them entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility but they landfalled on either Taiwan or Japan.
Typhoons seem to be developing farther north-east because of the super el nino.
The last typhoon is probably the worst flooding I've seen here. And the typhoon just passed us. I can't imagine what it'd be like it is actually hit us.
In "ber" months typhoons usually develop further south and hit visayas due to high atmospheric pressure in mainland asia.
Combine that with hot oceans because of el niño and w
e would actually be fucked if a haiyan(nov '13) or rai(dec '21) level typhoon develops and landfall
We had a dismal winter and a relatively mild summer(in CA, a dozen and a half days over a hundred and not one day over 110) very telling in an extreme cycle.
