Who cares what these hypemachines claim?

Every year is now considered supercharged.

Every storm is now record breaking ("fifth largest ever!") :roflmao:

100%

I do like following/learning about weather and its impacts, even if minor, but the hype is hard to stomach. I believe they took their cue from retail sales events. Every sale is the biggest. You don't want to miss it. If safety was their top priority they should worry about people becoming numb to their warnings.

They said an El Nino was coming and it's pissing rain on California. Southern storm track coming through in Florida as well.
La Nina often means active season and like OWE said the Atlantic is **** warm out to sea.

I agree with you about the news covering individual storms but stop being a hater we're trying to score and not preferably not get clapped.

I use Accuweather radar to see where it’s raining. The “animated” version goes back 1-1/2 hours and then “forecasts” the next 1-1/2 hours. I’ve verified their model always overstates the rain and snowfall predictions. I mean, I got curious and took screenshots of the predictions and then compared them to their real time radar readings an hour and a half later…always overstated.

So I would trust them when they say the water is anomalously warm. As for the hurricane season 4-5 months from now? I guess we’ll see.
