There is not one storm in the north Indian Ocean yet this year.

There is usually some in May and June before the season returns in October and November.

The Pacific has primarily high pressure systems. Satellite below.

There were some killer storms in Asia. August, I think.

Heat transfer system from the Equator to the Arctic Circle. It is robbing the Indian Ocean of moisture. Heat transfer systems are hot, but, not so turbulent they actually rain. It happens across North America all the time.

Yep, plenty of heat, but, no turbulence. There won't be, the path of the air mass has a movement north. There won't be air piling up into vortexes with expanding heated air. 

Well, maybe with summer coming there will be more moisture to form storms, but, it sure doesn't look like it yet.
