Yes, it's early for this. But it looks like the El Nino system will dissapte. So we're starting to see Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) in the Atlantic's Main Development Region (MDR) for hurricanes were at their highest February level on record last month, according to the UK Hadley Center. The MDR is between the coast of Africa and Central Americaand virtually all African waves originate in this region that account for 85% of all Atlantic major hurricanes and 60% of all named storms. When we have higher SSTs, we can anticipate increased tropical activity.
