No hurricane-strength TCs have formed in the NHEMI so far this year (through 6/7). This is the latest on record in the reliable satellite era for detection (since 1970).
In addition, only one named storm had formed. On average to date, there are six. Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), which is the best metric to gauge TC activity, for the NHEMI is only 3% of avg.
Do you ever hear about this in the mainstream? No, b/c it is positive news and does not fit a particular prevailing narrative. And these kinds of records are more prevalent than you think, just we are not made aware of them. The mainstream media should report all information/data, not just cherry-pick items to suit their needs/motivations.
And if you are thinking that it is still too early in the season to really rate TC activity, yes it is, but only in the ATLC and the EPAC. The WPAC has a season that never really ends, just decreases in the winter (you can have super typhoons in Feb, as one example) and April-May is part one of its main season for the NIO, second being Oct-Nov. This kind info is of additional value b/c it shows not all wx/climate acts like what it is in and around the U.S. So what may be alien to us is not in reality, just our local experience bias we have.
