The "shape" of the 2024 hurricane season is a funny one. It got off to a spectacular start, had a sleepy middle, and then it was a sprint to the finish line. This plot shows the difference between the cumulative ACE index (a measure of hurricane activity) for 2024 compared to the 1991-2020 average.
