Crushing high pressure ...

is suppressing everything in the basin.  Shear is not wildly high, but the Azores and Bermuda highs have combined to push the ITCZ to near 3-5N, and  has created so much subsidence, that thunderstorm activity is as minimal as you could ever see.

Unless, we see just some unexpected pop up tropical cyclone, I think we could go a good two weeks like this.

If anybody is tracking 2005 v. 2010, any space of time in 2010 in July would put this year in a deep whole against 2005.  2005 saw 6 named storms.  We "could" conceivably get through July this year, without so much as the lone TD, already had.

To be continued ...
