Never boring

Extremely active hurricane season possible, acting NOAA administrator says 
The 2013 hurricane season, which begins June 1, could be extremely active, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicting Thursday that there will be 13 to 20 named storms, including 7 to 11 hurricanes. Of those, three to six could be major hurricanes, Category 3 and above.

NOAA predicts an above normal and possibly extremely active hurricane season, said Kathryn Sullivan, acting NOAA administrator.
 In 2011, the T-P ran a pretty interesting graphic attempting to measure the accuracy of these predictions. The sample size there isn't very good but the trend appears to show that they're getting better.
