There were two Cat 3 storms that year. When examining the 'randomness' of the 'paths' of the hurricanes there was still widespread humidity to support the storms that did manifest. The 'paths' of the storms circulated throughout the Atlantic with the 'same' eastward path toward Europe as previous years. The climate of Earth was changing but with enough 'residual' coolness left over from 2005 to maintain a storm season that reached all areas of the Atlantic and HENCE distributing the heat on a greater surface area.
