The Atlantic had the most active month of any basin in the world ever. Eventually, another basin will break the record


Yeah the Atlantic has the only recon worldwide. Read my previous post...


and read everyone else's. Dvorak both over AND underestimates intensity

This thread will remained locked for a little while longer so everyone can read this.

I think good points were made about recon, Dvorak, over estimating and under estimating. We are done with it here. WPAC does not have recon and unless someone pays for it there will be no recon. End of story. NATL and to some extend the EPAC has recon. I think, objectively, we have seen Dvorak make mistakes in both directions. Doesn't really matter since the data we get is the data we have to work with, period. This is not a thread for arguing about it, this is a thread to record the currently accepted ACE values.

Personally I could care less if the NATL broke some kind of ACE record, it's a meaningless number backed up by improved observational techniques. For all we know the actual record month was back in the 1800's in name-your-basin. So let's just not go there please. Thanks.

Just to show how active the WPAC really is. An ACE of 117.2 would be considered an above normal season in the Atlantic and near normal for the EPAC. Already showing signs of some activity at the end of the month.

The WPAC never sleeps.

still likely that we set the Atlantic ACE record this year. Got a few points from Nate and should get quite a few from soon to be Ophelia. Plus, I fully expect another Caribbean cane this month

So you think we can still surpass 1933's 259 units of ACE?

yeah. Not sure how many units Nate ended up with, but the numbers are above the 205 we currently have. Ophelia should produce 10-15 units of ACE. Would only need one typical Caribbean October monster to get us to the record then

According to CSU Nate added 4.1 units to bring the Atl season up to 208 units. Ophelia should meander around to add quite a few more

So, if O gets us to 220-225, what chance is there for the other 30-40?

Atlantic would only be 4 units away from having the ACE of both the EPAC and WPAC combined. :lol:

Highest ACE seasons 3-6 are so absurdly close (separated by <5 ACE!) that another relatively long lived major or two longer lived moderate hurricanes after Ophelia would quickly vault 2017 from 7th to 3rd all-time. Maybe a little bit of a stretch at this point, but with storms like Mitch, Lenny, Michelle, Sandy, Paloma, etc. on the books in this active era, it's not implausible that we could add enough after Ophelia to reach 3rd all-time.

Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

One more Caribbean storm, which I think we will get later this month, and we could start surpassing some of those years if not all of them.
