User blog comment:YE/2015 Pacific hurricane season April outlook/@comment-2239664-20150406213407

If last year could make 22 named storms, and with this year looking up to be a moderate or strong El Nino, it would surprise me if we don't get another very active Pacific hurricane season this year, though things would have to go perfectly for a repeat of 1992 to happen. Though it may appear that the active era of Atlantic hurricanes that began in 1995 might be coming to a close, we need more data (i.e, more years to pass) before we can conclude that a large shift in weather patterns is indeed happening and the Pacific is back up to it's active 80's/early 90's reign again. Outliers in climate data are being reported in some part of the world every year today. While one season can be super-active and unforgettable, the next season might never be remembered at all. Only time will tell, but as it stands now, it appears likely that we're going into a strong El Nino event, and this year's EPac will probably be above-average.
