Increased hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin over the last 30 years has led to new averages when it comes to the Atlantic hurricane season.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration updates the statistics to determine when a season is below average, above or average. This update is done every ten years and reflects the previous 30 years of data. This most recent dataset runs from 1991-2020.
