From four to six Cat 5's in this fairly inactive season.

Still think Rammasun is underestimated only at 140 knots with data of showing a 892 mb at landfall...

Can't wait for the BT progs...

It would be seven category fives if Genevieve was included. Genevieve didn't form in the basin, but it didn't achieve category 5 intensity until it has crossed into the WPac. That's a huge number for any year, regardless of number of storms or background conditions. 2014 didn't have too many named storms, but it sure did deliver the big ones.

Indeed last 3 months of the year produced 4 STY including 3 Cat 5's peaking at 155 knots. I guess this current nino was responsible for the activity as it started developing with massive WWB's and thus creating a record 2015 season...

^Is this a back to the future thing, this is 2014 haha.

But to comment on that, the GFS is the first to show that scenario. Euro followed but since the other day both have become inconsistent with solutions varying from a Luzon threat to a dissipating recurving cyclone..

Personally I wouldn't consider the number of tropical storms to say if a year was inactive or not. I'd go with the accumulated ACE units. I agree 2014 is a quality over quantity year and in way a more active season compared to 2013, though that year had more tropical storms and a Haiyan...
