I believe the sudden burst of activity can be attributed to the MJO passing through the Pacific; once this exits the basin, activity will definitely simmer down. I definitely think the season will be significantly less active than the previous two years, with around 13-15 named storms, 7-8 hurricanes, and 3-4 majors, which is near-average activity.
