== Season summary section == 

 Some of the paragraphs in the season summary section don't read very well or appear useful. For example, it implies July was slower than usual "However, activity diminished after Cristina [which was in mid-June], as only one storm attained hurricane status during the ensuing six weeks." However, this has actually been chugging along at a well above-average pace thus far. It still is - if the current disturbance becomes Lowell before August 20, we will it will be earlier than 1992's Lester. 

 Perhaps it would be better to wait until the season is over? This will allow all climatological contexts and records to become clear. Until then, we can say that the pace has been above average so far and put the bits about Cristina and Amanda into the individual storm sections.  |
