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
