The problem with looking at the weather so much is that when you hear comments that run counter to what you see, it brings up the old admonition, Who are you Going to Believe, Me or your Lying Eyes? Of course, bringing this up can rain hell from above with the atmospheric authoritarians. But at the end of June, I want to bring a few things up about the extremes of NON EXTREMES.
1) GLOBALLY Tropical cyclone activity is well below normal just a tad over 50% (Total Ace is 33.2 Average thru the date is 61.3)
2) This is tongue in cheek, but suppose I want to show people how tranquil the weather is (not a good idea if you are trying to get business or attract attention) I would bring up that with no named tropical cyclones on the planet right now (midday Monday) and no likely strong feature the next several days, we are tying the all-time record for LEAST amount of classified tropical cyclones for the date, which of course is 0 (and has occurred many times ha ha)
3) Now here is something a bit more serious. The massive shutdown this early in the prime region for most ACE/basin, the Northwest Pacific (currently less than 20% of average) is something that is a precursor in many seasons to the big Atlantic basin hurricane season. When that area is down, the Indian Ocean (which is well above average) and the Atlantic make up for it. But if we are going to think globally about how bad things are right now, there is not much to say, except the lack where it means that the forecast ideas we have had now since early March, appear to have merit. Remember that if we turn out right, chances are other areas are well below average The Northeast Pacific is less than 10% of average now!
4) Tornadoes are way below average. Look at the chart.
