I wonder if this could be somehow tied to global warming. Maybe the Jetstream weakening or ocean currents changing. Or is it just a fluke?
The heat has to go somewhere. If we aren’t getting tropical cyclones in the northern hemisphere…is shit about to go crazy in the Southern Hemisphere?

Possibly this means the hurricane season might shift to be later than normal since the ocean will remain warmer? The heat goes into the atmosphere so if the oceans stay warm and the atmosphere cools due to the change of seasons it seems likely there will be a greater temperature differential, which might mean stronger hurricanes. Or the heat just stays in the ocean and does what heat does in the ocean (higher tides since the water swells some? More environmental problems for life in the ocean?)
The oceans are heated by underwater volcanoes and the sun. The sun has been slightly less active than usual this Solar cycle. We don’t measure most of the underwater volcanos’ output.
Probably going to be a cold winter in the northern hemisphere.
