Back to the question of the rising number of Atlantic tropical storms, which we discussed last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To recap, this is what the BBC reported two years ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past 10 to 15 years, though, named storms have formed prior to the official start about 50% of the time.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the way they are defined and observed has changed significantly over time.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Many of these storms are short-lived systems that are now being identified because of better monitoring and policy changes that now name sub-tropical storms,” Dennis Feltgen, meteorologist at the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) told BBC Weather.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The number of named storms has increased over the decades, but there is no real evidence this is the result of a warming world.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall increase from 1961 is also likely to be due to better technology, along with observations over the Atlantic Ocean.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since satellites came along in the 1980s, we can spot and monitor the development of tropical cyclones and name them when they meet the threshold.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are simply able to record more<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
