(Before It's News)

sandyspace2382471b[emphasis added] … The perspective of the UK Met Office – which prides itself on tropical storm forecasts – is instructive for the degree of its caution.

For a start, the view is that the most accurate record of hurricanes – essential for any comparison – only stretches back to the start of the satellite era in the late 1970s.

Before then, there is no way of knowing whether storms which developed at sea then stayed out at sea and grew or died unseen and unrecorded. So the exact frequency and power of ALL tropical storms is only known for 30 years or so – too short a period, say Met Office scientists, to form a proper judgment.
