Worst crop of figs in years...

I'm wondering f this is weather related...lots of local apple and fruit growers seem to have very small harvests this season. My back yard fig tree is about 10 years in the ground, a Celeste, and it has given up a huge amount of fruit for years in the past- I still have about 15 pounds of figs frozen from 2 years ago...and they will probably have to do for this winter's cooking...I just went to pick figs now and found 5 of them. I have a lot of greenery, but hardly any figs and few of those seem to be ripening. I cut it back pretty much last winter, but did not thin it over the summer-only once...there are a lot of canes. I will cut and thin it again this winter, but this is the worst season since it started to bear regularly.
