Yes it has been much more active than normal. The August total of eight
tropical storms is the highest ever.

Having saif that it is nothing to do
with global warming, it is to do with a multi-decadal cycle in the Atlantic
which results in 20-30 years of active seasons and then 20-30 years of
inactive seasons. 1995 was the start of the next active cycle, so enhanced
hurricane activity can be expected for approx the next 20 years.

I seem to recall someone explaining to me how GW would limit Atlantic
hurricane activity. Something to do with a shallower
(temperature/pressure?) gradient between the equator and the pole.
