The 2022 hurricane season has gotten off to a rather sluggish start.
For the first time since 2017, there were no named hurricanes in June or July. And, so far this year, there have only been three named tropical storms at all. Just one of them, Colin, reached the Carolinas.
Colin barely even qualified as a tropical storm. It was so weak that it stayed under forecasters’ radar until the last possible minute. The National Weather Service even said the storm would likely have a positive effect on the region, given how little rainfall there had been recently before Colin arrived in early July.
