Difference:
Ex. 26/16/5
The last number would refer to super typhoon, not major typhoon unlike the ATL and EPAC
NOTE: To avoid confusion, and to comply with the other polls, we will use JTWC 1-min data
1-You can post your numbers whenever you want between April 27th at 11:00 PM EDT (11:00 PM PHT) and June 15th at Midnight EDT when the poll closes.Also members can add a brief commentary if you want to do so about why you have the numbers you posted in the poll.
2-You can post a set of numbers and not change them anymore.In that case I will consider your numbers as final.
3-If you have preliminary numbers and later you are going to post final ones, those will be posted with the word Final. If by June 15th at Midnight EDT when the poll closes,there are still members that have preliminary numbers,I will consider them as final ones.
4-Unnamed Storms that may form will count as part of the numbers.
6-If a system is upgraded or downgraded from a Tropical Storm/Severe tropical storm to a Typhoon in Post-Season Report,it will count for the final tally to see which members came close or nailed the numbers.
7-(Optional) The ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) numbers for the 2015 Pacific Typhoon Season will not count for the poll but if any member wants to post what they think about how the ACE will be you can do so.
8-Anyone can participate,from the pro mets,those who like Tropical Weather and like to track tropical systems,those who dont know a lot about tropical weather,and the newbies too are welcomed.I know that the numbers are not the most important thing in a season.The most important thing are where the storms will go,so it doesn't matter how many named storms form,as it only takes one system to do all the damage to an area.However,it's always very interesting to make a poll like this to see what the members think about the numbers game and how active or not the season will turn out.Let's see at the end of the season,how many members get close or tie what the 2015 season will offer.
9-This is the first year of this poll, and let's get this active!
10-The list of participants in the poll will only appear on the first post of the thread so you dont have to go thru the pages.Good luck to all.
