This is the sign of increased hurricane risk. The rainy season has not started because upper level winds are too strong for thunderstorms to develop. However, I remember June 1986 as being just as dry. That summer there were very few thunderstorms, but the rainy season did start in July. Right now we are the victims of strong high and low pressure systems that push winds to higher than normal speeds. The strong east winds push the heat away, making it seem cooler than normal.

In the true rainy season we start a day with cloudless skies, and totally still air. The sky then begins to cloud up, but the clouds barely move. Over time the moisture rises higher and contacts the ionosphere and you hear the thunder and see the lightning. Once the winds stop, the rain should start falling. By August I expect to be anticipating a big blow. Thankfully I have a new home to enjoy the storm in the highly unlikely event I get to enjoy the full force of a cat 3+ storm.

Love,
the Pacific Northwest
Since you seem to be taking on the bulk of the nuclear fallout from Japan I think we can let you slide.

SWFL and parts of Texas do have it bad.

Here's one problem: See if you can find it as you look at the map.

My first year there, 2005, was very calm and seemed cooler than the other years. I remember, when I first got there, sitting in my apartment on the beach with the windows open thinking, "This is supposed to be a hot place to live? Really? What a joke."

And then we had Katrina, Rita and Wilma.

The following years it was HOT during this time of year, there were more storms and with exception of winter 2009, the water level was good. The winter of 2009 the water was low, pretty darn low but still not quite as bad as it is now. But the summer weather started on time and there were storms when there should have been. This year? Horrid.

I expect that you are right in regards to hurricanes. It's acting just like it did when I first moved to Miami.

Edit: Yes, the part I bolded in your comment, YES! That is exactly how it begins. The day is very still, stifling, you want to just pass out. You see refreshment trucks drive by with their pictures of ice and ice cold drinks and you start daydreaming and longing for an ice cube bath. And just when you think you can't take it anymore, the storm arrives. You are absolutely right.

(mostly) meteorological nonsense... should have just stuck with blaming global warming. Just being sarcastic, mind you. Correct about something though--it's the combination of global wind patterns combined with a little bad luck, which happens every few decades. Just like the massive tornado outbreak and flooding of the Mississippi.

I see that they made that prediction for Hurricane Andrew...
Looks like the odds are 1:2 for The Big One.

Sounds sweet, it has always been my childhood dream to witness the destruction of the cesspool called Miami by a major hurricane.
