Highest number of invests?

[Category 5]

I noticed on NRL that there are current 5 invests in the WPAC. Now I'm curious, does anyone know what was the most invests active at the same time in one basin?

As I hit the Submit button, there are 10 simultaneous invests around the world at the Navy site, including six in the WPAC. ....probably not a record, but it's more than I've personally seen at one time.

Let's see right now:

92L - 93L

09E - 95E - 96E

01C - 94C

94W - 96W - 97W - 98W - 99W

12 systems out there.

(I wasn't counting TDs or named systems. Only "Invests". Did he want all storms?)

- 2007-02-05: 99P, 98S, 97S, Nelson, 12S, 11P, Dora (seven items in the SHEM)

- 2007-08-30: 97L, 96L, 95L, 94L, 95E, Gil, 92C, Fitow (lots of ATL)

If I recall correctly, at one point in 2005 we had 2 active named storms and three invests in the Atlantic basin at one time. If I get a chance, I'll dig up the info. I may be crazy, but I think there may have been 3 named storms simultaneously during all this.

If I recall correctly, at one point in 2005 [...] I think there may have been 3 named storms simultaneously during all this.

There were. From early September 7 to early September 10, the storms Maria, Nate and Ophelia were active.

[...] we had 2 active named storms and three invests in the Atlantic basin at one time.

The points at which we had two active named storms:
- Cindy-Dennis
- Dennis-Emily
- Franklin-Gert
- Harvey-Irene
- Maria-Nate-Ophelia
- Ophelia-Philippe
- Philippe-Rita
- Stan-Unnamed
