		The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season is the busiest on record and extends the active hurricane cycle that began in 1995 — a trend likely to continue for years to come.

		The Atlantic Basin is in the active phase of a multi-decadal cycle in which optimal conditions in the ocean and atmosphere, including warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures and low wind shear, enhance hurricane activity.

	Summary of the 2003 Atlantic Hurricane Season
		By the way, the 1933 season also was a season that had less than fifty percent of its named storms become hurricanes as only ten named storms emerged from the 21 storms that developed that year including two powerful hurricanes that ravaged the Mid-Atlantic including the Great Chesapeake Bay Hurricane of September, 1933.
		A hurricane that had the potential to end up on the same level as that Mid-Atlantic hurricane from 1933 was Hurricane Isabel, the most powerful hurricane to develop in the Atlantic since Hurricane Mitch in October, 1998.
		Meanwhile, Kate would be the last hurricane of the season, and it ended up being a major hurricane with 125 mph winds in early October.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		For example, 1961 was an active hurricane season (NTC of 222), but there was no TC activity during August; 1995 had 19 named storms, but only one named storm developed during a 30-day period during the peak of the hurricane season between 29 August and 27 September.
		Although many active Atlantic hurricane seasons feature no landfalling hurricanes, and some inactive years experience one or more landfalling hurricanes, it is found that, on average, the more active the overall Atlantic basin hurricane season is, the greater the probability of U.S. hurricane landfall.
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity between 1995-2004 to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.
