The months of July and August of this year have been among the quietest in terms of hurricane activity since World War II, a Colorado meteorologist said this week, with August shaping up to have the lowest hurricane activity since the late 1990s.
Philip Klotzbach, a forecaster at Colorado State University specializing in Atlantic basin hurricanes, wrote on Twitter on Tuesday that "for the first time since 1941, the Atlantic has had no named storm (e.g., tropical storm or [hurricane]) activity from July 3rd-August 30th."
Klotzbach further pointed out that August of this year could finish as the only August since 1997 to have no named hurricanes.

Must be global warming, climate change, or global cooling. I'll get back to you on which it is.

My take on this whole thing is that the sunspot numbers, steadily trending downward during the last four 11-year sunspot cycles are indicating a cooling trend driven by the sun's output. A cooling trend matches with fewer big heat-driven hurricanes.
The Maunder Minimum was a period of very few sunspots from about 1645 to 1715 which preceded the Little Ice Age. We aren't getting no sunspots, just a lot fewer, so that would seem to be a cooling trend rather than the more severe Ice Age trend. There was also a Dalton Minimum from about 1790 to 1830 which also preceded hard winters, heavy snows, etc.
And we do know that periodically SOMETHING causes real Ice Ages for at least one hundred thousand years, far longer than human civilization has existed.
The decreasing sunspots for 44 years during my lifetime leads ME to think that global cooling is more likely that global warming.....and to be CERTAIN that human activity has NOTHING to do with it, since it is controlled by the sun.

Not only no hurricanes in July and August, only two tropical systems in early July that barely got to the level of tropical storm- >38 mph. To the OP, the first hurricane of 2013 was Humberto on September 11, but that is extremely rare.

So do we get massive refunds on our homeowners insurance polices, which for decades have been wildly and falsely inflated thanks to the bogus studies they probably pay for under the table?

The United States went thirteen full years - - without being hit by a Category 3 or higher hurricane. I believe it was 2005 to 2018.
During that time - - I kept updating everyone - - "It's been six years since a hurricane - - but as soon as the next one hits - - guess what? Man-made climate change!"
Then - - "It's been seven years" - - "It's been nine years" - - "It's been eleven years" - - "It's been twelve years" - - then - - BINGO! - - a hurricane hits - - and guess what? Man-made climate change!
So - - don't get your hopes up, folks - - these leftist lunatics care not one whit about FACTS!

But as soon as the next hurricane hits, the media will proclaim that it was caused by Global Climate Change.™

The whole 'named storms' idea has gotten out of hand anyways. The weather service strains to slap a name on anything with a 40 MPH wind speed. They have even retroactively applied names to storms based on satellite imaging.

NASA synchronous earth satellites are telling us that the globe has STOPPED warming since 1995. We are entering a cooling period of maybe a couple of centuries - looking at the records. Another Maunder Minimum is coming on top of that. Know how to spell Mini Ice Age..?

Folks on The Weather Channel seem to be extremely disappointed that there are no "disturbances" that can be named. But they reassured us this morning "We've still got 74% of the Hurricane Season to go!"

2022: Forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service, are predicting above-average hurricane activity this year — which would make it the seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season. ....
And we're supposed to believe them when they say the earth is warming.

I'm with #1.
Living right at 'Ground Zero' for hurricane Katrina in 2005, I was keeping my mouth shut.
I always consider the peak of the season to be Labor Day weekend, although that is an approximation.
The season does have a fairly sharp peak, do a quick search for 'hurricane season peak chart' and you can see it.
For an INFORMED discussion of climate issues, as well as some other interesting articles, check out 'WattsUpWithThat'.
For an 'aggregation' of weather, climate models, and hurricane forecast models, check out Mike's Weather Page', "spaghettimodels.com".
I hope y'all find these useful.
Happy Labor Day!

So, apparently, the Democrats really did fix climate change with their inflation reduction act! Atta boy, AOC. All credit the Greta, too. Problem solved. Carry on.

Joe Biden will claim that this is because of his decisive actions and "investments" to stop global warming.

Re: OP - I was but a wee lad in 1960 but I also remember well Hurricane Donna. My Air Force father had helped to evacuate 6 of the 90 B-47s based at Homestead AFB in S. Florida. A Navy family that we knew, came up from Key West to ride it out with us in base housing. During the worst of it, I saw my dad and his WWII buddy out in the storm, holding down our porch awning. The hurricane crossed Florida and headed up the East Coast, spawning tornados and flooding all long what is now the I-95 corridor.

But, but, but .... Global Warming!!!!
Some people these days are disappointed about this news
CNN has no disasters to create their programming.
Without Trump, they are bereft of something to talk about

Not in my memory have there been no named hurricanes through the end of August. My first hurricane of memory was Donna at Virginia Beach in 1960.
And the Climate Scammers have been screetching "more and bigger hurricanes due to MMGW" for decades....but in reality there are fewer hurricanes, actually.
