NOAA has issued its annual forecast for the hurricane season, along with its now - standard explanation that there is a natural cycle of multidecadal (40 - 60 year) length in the North Atlantic circulation (often referred to as the «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» — see Figure), that is varying the frequency of Atlantic tropical cyclones, and that the present high level of activity is due to a concurrent positive peak in this oscillation.

Summer (Green Season): December - February These months sometimes experience the highest rainfall, and can also be accompanied by thunderstorms and the occasional tropical cyclone.

They add that this slow pace currently makes the trend undetectable due to inadequate long - term records and the considerable variance in cyclone activity from season to season.

The clear seasonality in TCs («hurricane season») with highest activities during the summer is one of the strongest pieces of empirical evidence that higher temperatures give more favourable conditions for tropical cyclones (After all, TCs only form in the warm tropics...).

I can't find good numbers, but I'd guess that cold - season extratropical cyclones probably cause > US$ 2B in damage a year and, with the exception of the years with Camille, Agnes, and Katrina, have killed more people almost every year in the last 40 years.

I wonder if the fact the higher SSTs will lead to somewhat longer seasons (and 2005 certainly had that), and larger sea - surface area where TCs might form, would serve to counteract the effect you describe, and still lead, net - net, to an increase in the number of tropical cyclones with higher SSTs.

In addition, statistics on the seasons of tropical cyclone genesis and their landfall locations from AD 1945 — 2013 in the Northwest Pacific Ocean region reveal that in summer, tropical cyclones tend to make landfall along coastal regions north of Fujian Province, eastern China; however, in autumn and winter, cyclones tend to be guided further southward to make landfall in southern China (Hainan), Vietnam, and the Philippines.
