The hurricane season in the Atlantic and the eastern and central Pacific basins is now officially over. In all we saw some, 30 major hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones, most of them fuelled by El Niño, which appears to be the worst ever recorded. Prior to 2015, the greatest number of storms in a single season was 23, set in 2004. Incredibly, of the 30 storms recorded this year, 25 of them, or 83 per cent, attained category 4 or 5 status — again, another record (the previous record was 18).
Meanwhile, the Atlantic was comparatively quiet; the total from the past three years is the lowest since 1992-94.
