Per Joe Bastardi, this may be the quietest Labor Day weekend of his lifetime for the world as a whole. It’s so quiet that he thinks many of us may never see another one this quiet!
More specifically, there was just an Invest in the EPAC and the remnants of a TD in SE Asia. That’s it, which is fascinating!
As a result of TS Kiko in the EPAC, 2025 is no longer the quietest Labor Day weekend tropically globally of Joe Bastardi’s lifetime. Why? Going back to 1950:
-1980: no TC in EPAC, WPAC, or N Indian. The only TC was TD7 forming 8PM Sun in the NATL and lasting through Mon. Thus, 2025 now having a TS already beats 1980 globally.
-1991 is debatable:
-no TC in EPAC or N Indian
-WPAC had a dissipating Harry, probably down to only a TD, on Sat, and a new TD on Mon
-NATL: TD 5 dissipated on Sat
-So, unlike 2025, 1991 had no TS+ but there were 3 TDs during the weekend.
