Tropical Storm Humberto forms

Satellite data indicates that Invest 93L over the central tropical Atlantic has now developed into Tropical Storm Humberto. Visible satellite imagery shows that throughout the day, the low-level center has become well-defined, with persistent and organized deep convection mainly located over the eastern side of the system. Subjective Dvorak intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB were both data-T/2.5 35 kt. DPRINT and DMINT Objective intensity estimates from UW-CIMSS range from 31 to 35 kt. Using these data, the initial intensity is set to 35 kt.

Yeah, the Atlantic tropics have suddenly become active.

But,a question remains, why have the Atlantic tropics been so, I'll say, quiet until now?

Lots of shear and dry air entrainment, from what I have read. And airborne sand from the Sahara earlier in the season.
