The wildfire indicators are much more concerning for climate change. We are progressively having much worse fire years nearly every year and globally (the Australian bush fires were unlike anything they've ever seen there). Heatwaves (as you mentioned) and cold snaps are along the same lines... more concerning indicators. The hurricane patterns just aren't there. We have had a couple very active years but all the teleconnections said we were going to have very active years so they were expected. There was a 5 year period ending in 2013 where we only had 2 hurricanes making landfall (although there was Sandy who was later named a post-tropical cyclone). Then a persistent La Nina kicked in and it has been active over the past 3-4 years which is exactly what we would expect.
