Truly a loss in meteorology because of no recon.

WPAC has been producing Cat 5's since 1985 (I stopped in that year since i got tired).

I will look more into this or if someone else can.

Wow. World's most active basin.


Restarted this and went back to when JTWC started doing their ATCR in 1959.

Add in 1974 and 1977. Astonishing.

If 2020 doesn't produce one, it'll be only the 4th time in history.

Fun times to pass. Many people including myself didn't knew. :lol:


Goni or Atsani has the best chance to become a Category 5 operationally.

If not, we might have to look to November.

Happy hour run says continued activity in the long range but recent previous runs have been hinting something too :double:

0z GFS wants to kill the Philippines. Cat 2 Goni, Cat 4 Atsani, Cat 1/2 Etau, and Cat 3 Vamco! GEEZ! I know they get hit a lot but 5 storms in a row (I guess 6 counting Saudel) is unreal

06z GFS drops Vamco but has Etau developing sooner, 180 hours, and peaks it at 958 mb east of Taiwan.

Following behind Goni and Atsani, 0z GFS has a weak system (Etau?) following close behind with another weak system (Vamco?) close behind that. Run ends with two more weak systems forming, one over the Philippines and the other out closer to the dateline.

With 2 major typhoons looming, 2020 will surpass 1999 and 2010 with ACE now above 104.

I hate to think what will happen next year.

2020 is just the start as double consecutive years like this year after a high ACE year, it goes up. :eek:

Following up on the ACE totals for La Nina years.

2020 definitely in the bottom but season isn't over yet. Lots of potential.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1984 274.743 Weak

2016 263.155 Weak

1995 261.788 Moderate

2007 220.075 Strong

1983 219.702 Weak

1975 170.97 Strong

2017 170.455 Weak

1998 156.46 Strong

2010 121.397 Strong

1999 109.9 Strong

2020- 104.4 ?

*No reliable ACE for 1970

While there has been a pretty prolific generation of systems considering the La Nina conditions (likely due to off the charts SST's and OHC), the intensity has absolutely been lacking. I wouldn't be surprised if the Atlantic matches the number of major hurricanes/severe typhoons with Eta this week.

Just like that. Goni becomes a Cat 5 monster. 2020 continues the streak.
