"It's been an extreme hurricane season in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans — but for vastly different reasons.
The Pacific Ocean has seen 18 hurricanes so far and 41 named storms overall, which are unusually high numbers for this point in the season.
The Atlantic Ocean is experiencing the exact opposite.
For the first time in over 100 years, no full-blown hurricanes have formed in the Atlantic as of September 25. Only seven named storms have formed, all of which were less-intense tropical storms."
