2013 Hurricane Season a thing of the past

The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season is now in the books and thankfully it was a much less active season than was forecast.
Initial forecasts were that this would be an active year with between 13 and 20 named storms.
There were 13 named storms, but only two became hurricanes – and they weren’t major storms.
That’s the fewest hurricanes since 1982 – a normal season gets about 6 hurricanes with three major storms.
The 2013 season will go down as the sixth least-active year since 1950.

Forecasters said a combination of factors, but especially drier-than-expected air led to the less active season.
