    True, but the fact that so many have managed to develop at all - more than the previous two years which weren't El Nino years - still strikes me as surprising.

    I guess this means that dry air invasion of the Atlantic actually has a bigger impact on storm development than wind shear. That's the notable difference this year compared with previous years, apart from El Nino - the Sahara has been much quieter than in '13 or '14.

    The fact that it's a Modoki El Niño probably has something to do with it.

    It isn't a Modoki.

    TD 12 is now Tropical Storm Kate and even has a chance of reaching Hurricane strength for a while on her way out to the fishes.

    Kate is now a hurricane, racing out to sea. Her remains will likely have an impact on our weather in the days ahead.
