Subject: Re: '24 storm season forecast
I don't believe they are "near records" unfortunately. We are off the charts right now and I don't think that naive usage of existing models is going to be a work out well. I suspect Berkshire has some great minds looking at the problem. I've never seen anything like this year, I thought I'd be dead before the climate started changing like this.

I gather there's a solar maximum about now, so there's probably a local peak effect, as well as the underlying trend. Maybe it will calm down a bit (for a while) in the next year or two (or few? not sure of the timescale).
