Apparently, the EPAC changed its mind. My season would have had nine storms, eight hurricanes, and five major hurricanes right now. Instead, we have seen seven storms, only two of which have become hurricanes of any category.

Douglas was FAR weaker and shorter-lived than my prediction. It reached only a measely 40 knots (45 mph)/1001 mbar (hPa). But just like I predicted, it did not affect land whatsoever and hung on for a while.

Elida was just as bad as a bust of a prediction. It only made it to 45 knots (50 mph)/1003 mbar (hPa). Instead of repeating its 2002 self, Elida pulled a weaker version of her 1996 predesscor. Also, slight effects were reported in Mexico, compared to my hurricane which veered clear of all land.

Fausto was slightly better, but still ruined my predicton. I was hoping for good ol' 2002 to come back like it would for Douglas and Elida. Instead, Fausto barely made it alive out of the ITCZ and was sheared to death. Definitely not a Category 4-like storm at all. At least it didn't affect land, which I got right!

I wasn't expecting a CPAC tropical cyclone this year. But Wali came and went in the blink of an eye.

Overall, impactwise, I have done very good so far. Just like my prediction, Boris has been the most eventful storm of the season in that sense, with all the flooding in Central America. But intensitywise, not so much. You can just see the overexcitement for my season I had back in 2012! Hopefully, we pull a 2009 and start getting more hurricanes! :)
