Things are pretty quiet across Atlantic right now – as we would expect for this time of the year.

June is usually a pretty quiet month for tropical activity. Only 6% of named storms since 1950 have formed during the month of June. The areas we usually see development during the first month or two of hurricane season is close to home, with storms developing in the Gulf and western Caribbean.

At the moment, there’s an area of disturbed weather over the southern Gulf and western Caribbean, but a broad trough over the eastern U.S. is producing quite a bit of wind shear over these typical formation zones. Don’t expect any areas of concern for at least the next 5-7 days.
