Possible, but only because they're naming every fart that comes off the coast of Western Africa now. Trends show 2-3 actual hurricanes

Ever since ’05 somebody predicts this next season will be the worst ever.

I guess one year they’ll be right.

UPenn is probably more concerned with equitable storm naming that represents minority cultures more than the actual storms.


I don’t about the names, but I guarantee you the storms will disproportionately affect people of color

At least you didn't exactly say, "They say this every year!".

I'm assuming you mean 2005?

That doesn't change the fact that 2020 has the record for most named storms making landfall on the US, with multiple majors......and that slow, lumbering, overachieving bitch Sally. Anyone pointing to 2020 as being a season with an asterisk for having a lot of fish or junk storms is fooling themselves.

I don't know about 33. But I do know that there isn't a shred of evidence that there are any factors contradicting the prediction of an active season.
Say a Novena that they all stay out to sea, but prepare to get slammed.

You sure about that?

Prior to moving to Penn last year Mann was at PSU and was heavily involved with their annual preseason forecast dating back to 2020. He may have been involved somewhere else prior to that, but I haven't looked.

His (or their) forecast was under for 2020 (along with practically everyone else), under in 2021, and they nailed the spread in 2022 and 2023, with 2023 coming in at 20 named storms when their spread was 11-20.

While it isn't a huge sample size, when they've missed they have missed low. Now, I wouldn't take the over if I was betting on their number this year, but I also wouldn't wholesale dismiss it.

ETA: The same can be said about Klotzbach and team at CSU. When they miss they usually miss low. That should give anyone with skin in the game at least a bit of pause given the potential for this season.

2020 is the only time I can recall. Some named storms turn out to be non-events which inflates the numbers
A few last about 24-36 hours.
