Pacific bustles with storms while Atlantic stays quiet
Original: Why is the Pacific full of storm activity when the Atlantic has been calm?

The contrast has drawn attention from weather watchers, with commentary focusing on how differing ocean conditions and atmospheric patterns are driving storms in one basin and suppressing them in the other.
Why now: The stark contrast between an active Pacific and a quiet Atlantic hurricane season is unusual and prompting questions about the climate conditions behind it.
