The number of Atlantic basin hurricanes per season in recent years includes high years with 12 in 1969, 11 in 1995 and 10 in 1950 and 1998, and low years with 2 in 1982 and 3 in 1997, 1994, 1987, 1983, 1972, 1962, and 1957.
Hurricane Kyle: Kyle was the third-longest tropical cyclone on record falling only to Hurricane Inga (1969) and Hurricane Ginger (1971) in terms of longevity.
We thus attribute the change to unfavorable Atlantic basin hurricane enhancing conditions this year, after six of the prior seven seasons have seen a great increase in hurricane activity, to be a result of a 6-8 month weakening in the strength of the ATC circulation which has been strong in most months since mid-1995.
