I don't know much about weather but storms are a function of thermodynamic energy which is fueled by temperature differentials in close proximity which, in turn, is created by ocean currents moving warm/cold water towards each other. So either the currents are slowing down or the temperature differential at each end of the current is shrinking - or some of each.

I also checked the peaks of the first graph against the 11-year sunspot cycle.

No corellation. Just wondering.

It might be worth checking this out against undersea volcanic and tectonic activity as well.
