The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea are hot, yet hurricane season has entered a lull just days before its peak. Earlier this year, climate alarmists warned about elevated tropical activity due to 'climate change,' but their forecast has proven incorrect.
Meteorologist Ryan Maue has offered his take on why tropical development activity remains depressed:
The Atlantic tropics are completely broken, unable to produce tropical storms even w/off the charts "climate fueled" oceans. Our models no longer work, forecasters can't figure it out. This is not normal.

Violent storms hit the south-east of France overnight, bringing rain and flooding to the previously serene Mediterranean coastline.
Rainfall of nearly 150 mm fell within 24 hours in parts of the Alpes-Maritimes department. Storms are set to continue in some areas of the far-south east today.
The storms hit across the southern coastline from Nice to Marseille, with the latter facing severe flooding.
It was the most powerful storm the city has experienced in at least three years.
Roads flooded in Marseille
Floods were particularly damaging to Marseille's transport network, with many roads inundated with water.
A magnitude 6.2 earthquake rattled Papua New Guinea on Thursday, the United States Geological Survey said, striking off the country's northern coast.
A USGS map showed the tremor centered in a patch of ocean some 300 kilometers (186 miles) east of the town of Vanimo, which is preparing to host Pope Francis over the weekend.
A photographer based in the provincial capital of Wewak told AFP there did not appear to be major damage in the immediate aftermath of the quake.
Earthquakes are common in Papua New Guinea, which sits on top of the seismic "Ring of Fire"—an arc of intense tectonic activity that stretches through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.
A 2-year-old girl was attacked and brutally killed by a wolf in UP's Bahraich. This has increased the death toll in the city to an even 10. The previous nine victims were eight children and an elderly woman of 55 years of age. These incidents took place in the Mahsi area of Bahraich. The entire town shivers at the thought of these human flesh enthusiasts, the wild wolf packs.

All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.
