I read the position wrong first time and was looking at something in the E Pacific, but it looks like it is ITCZ related. :wink:

You make it sound like it's some sort of human at the UK Met Office specifying these areas; they aren't.

It's basically raw output from the UKMET computer model.

The UKMET has this screwy habit of creating small "boguscanes" (False tropical systems) right over Lake Maracaibo in the Venezuela. I've seen it at least half a dozen times during tropical season...guess it does it outside of season now too. I've never seen any of them form.
