Anyone notice the lack of tropical storms and hurricanes this year?

There's been a couple off the west coast of Mexico, but they've fizzled out too..
Seems a bit strange considering all the heat in a lot of places. Carolinas have been relatively cool compared to the past few years. 
Meanwhile Europe seems to want to burn down and London at 104 F? Yikes.. 

It's early days yet.  The peak of the season is in mid-September.

Note where mid July falls on this chart.
