This is a monthly graph of the ENSO from 2020 through 2021. Negative is trending towards El Nino and Positive is trending towards La Nina. Near 0 means Neutral. that is right where we are right now. You can clearly see the positive trend during the peak of the hurricane season last year (La Nina). Right now we are near neutral and the new models expect us to stay that way through the peak of hurricane season. Still points to an active season, but nothing like last year.

NOAA Predicts Above Average Season for 2021
NOAA has released their 2021 Hurricane forecast for 2021. They are predicting 13 to 20 named storms with 6 to 10 becomming Hurricanes and 3 to 5 becomming major hurricanes of category 3 or higher.
Although the 2021 hurricane season is NOT expected to be as bad as the 2020 season, it is expected to be above normal. There was a lot of talk about what areas the hurricanes could hit, it was plainly noted that impact areas cannot be predicted until a storm is about a week out. Early predictions of impact areas is simply not accurate. NOAA has also stated that they have new technologies that they will be using this season such as drones that will be released into the storms and on the ocean surface for a better understanding of what is going on inside the storm. This information will be put into the models to allow for more accurate forecasts.
