The historical data set from the National Hurricane Center shows that 366 tropical storms have formed in the month of August since 1851. But before the age of routine satellite coverage that started in the mid-1960s, some tropical storms were obviously missed. Since the satellite era began, we have averaged 3.1 tropical storms of which 1.7 were hurricanes during the month of August.

It is way too early for anyone to say whether the current disturbance will eventually threaten South Florida or not.  But it is a reminder that we are about to enter the beginning of what is considered to be the most active part of the Atlantic hurricane season that typically extends from mid-August to the middle or end of October.
