Not a single named storm developed during those weeks , the first time since 1968 .

Just when researchers thought their forecasts were turning into busts, storm activity roared back to life.

Researchers are studying what led to the strange pattern to boost their understanding of the factors that drive hurricanes.

Rosencrans said research generally does not suggest that climate change will shift the number of named storms (those with winds of 39 mph or greater). However, a greater proportion of named storms will be expected to become hurricanes, and a larger share of those hurricanes will reach Category 4 or 5 . That was true this year .
