East Pacific has seen three storms named, while the Atlantic has not seen his first storm named of the season.
The Eastern Pacific hurricanes season has had a quick start, with three storms with name that are already being formed from the beginning of the season on May 15. Meanwhile, since the beginning of the Atlantic hurricanes season on June 1, Basinty Hash Hash.
“This is the general pattern you would expect for the month of June, where you look at the waves (tropical), but nothing is going to be fruit,” said Fox Weather Stephen Morgan meteorologist.
On average, the Eastern Pacific basin sees Storm for the first time on June 10, the second to June 24 and the third for July 6. Alvin, Barbara and Cosme were formed in less than two weeks, marking a quick start for the ocean basin.
Saharan dust generally does not reach east enough to affect the Eastern Pacific; The dust rises north to the United States before it can interfere with the storms of the Eastern Pacific.

According to the Fox forecast center, the lack of storms in the Atlantic has so far been falling due to three unfavorable atmospheric conditions on the basin, including current water temperatures, the shear of the wind and the Saharan dust.
Saharan dust, which is known to suppress tropical activity in the basin, limits the ability of tropical showers to develop and grow. Meanwhile, the shear of the persistent wind prevents tropical alterations and waves from organizing.

“Hurricanes, tropical cyclones, do not prosper in an environment that is high shear. Any type of development that is believed to be possible here with these little waves, shear will drown them,” Morgan explained.
While water temperatures are warm enough to support development, they are not as favorable as they have been in recent years and are part of the reason for the lack of training in the Atlantic.
There is currently a great possibility that another tropical cyclone develops in the Eastern Pacific around the next seven days, while the slow beginning in the Atlantic does not show signs of greater activity and is perfectly normal for this time of the year of Fox forecast.
