Every non-2013 year since 2011 has had a major in October now.

Ryan Maue currently has ACE at 220.8. Simply amazing.

NAtl PDI has now passed both 2004 and 2005 for most in that basin in the satellite era!

2010 is the only other year that didn't have an October major this decade - yet it had three Cat 2s.

Two of the majors have been named Ophelia as well. It's crazy.

We now have Khanun and soon to be Lan in the WPAC which is sure to bring up the ACE. LAN is the 25th TC of the season. Slow ACE but sure is active number wise. The WPAC never sleeps.

The WPAC slept from September 16 to October 15.... :lol:

Nonetheless, we may get around 40 ACE from Lan alone. Resembles Jelawat in 2012 in track somehow with Lan expected to maintain intensity long enough to accrue significant ACE. Since Lan is from a monsoon gyre, we may see Saola and Damrey develop as well, with the former possibly impacting the Visayas.

P.S: They should've kept Vicente. Much cooler name than Lan. Maria is in the WPac lists as well, what would happen to her if she would be retired from the NAtl lists?

As of 12Z, 222.213375 * 10**6 kt**3. 2005 had 220.03975 and 2004 had 219.405675. Behind these years, 1995 is a distant third for NAtl satellite era data with 181.277375. Prior to this year, 2004 actually had the calendar year record for the same timeframe since 2005 didn't pass 2004 until January 2006 near the end of Zeta's life.

Does Ophelia still gain ACE points even if it is extratropical?

Subtropical and extratropical are not counted for official ACE

Thanks for clarifying. Looks like she is going to fall just short of 2004.

2005 had more named storms than 1995, 2004, and 2017. 1995, 2004, and 2017 had more storms forming in the Main Development Region. They had more Cape Verde storms. 2005 had more storms form in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. They tend to form closer to land.

I myself like the name Lan. It is very unique and isn't one of those too asian like. :lol: When i said the WPAC never sleeps, i mean the whole year. It never shuts down. :lol:

WPAC up to 127.762 due to Lan contributing 5.3025. Normal YTD is 230 or 55% of normal.

I've updated the numbers to match CSU for now. Not sure they are accurately tracking the current WPAC activity and I'm not sure where to look since Maue's site has been removed from Weatherbell.

Edit: New site is here: http://wx.graphics/tropical/ I'll update first post in case I forget again. :D

His numbers higher, any opinion on which ones to use?

WPAC: 128.887

I have 127.0425 for the WPac. Maue's numbers run a little hot sometimes, but CSU's WPac numbers have been around 10 units too low for a little while now for some reason.
