Why the tropics have been quiet lately (Aug. 26, 2024)

  • Summary

  • On Monday's show: August and September have always been considered the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. And right now there’s no sort of real threat out in the Atlantic for the Houston area. So, when you consider how early in the season Beryl came along and the derecho before it, it seems to the untrained eye as if this hurricane season is not going at all the way past years have. We ask an expert is that's true -- and find out why.

    Also this hour: We learn about a recent investigation into efforts to contend with so-called zombie oil wells in West Texas -- old wells that are suddenly bursting with fluids after years of dormancy.

    Then, columnist Dwight Silverman discusses recent developments in consumer technology.

    And we preview the upcoming Texans season with Jonathan Alexander, who covers the team for the Houston Chronicle.
