Systems north of 40 degrees latitude?

#1 Postby TheEuropean » Mon Oct 05, 2009 3:09 pm

Hi, does anyone know if there is a list with all atlantic tropical or subtropical systems north of 40 degrees latitude? Not only the two storms of 1988 and 2009 with first warning north of 40 degrees, I mean all systems that reach this high latitude. Thx.

It seems that 40N is pretty routine for tropical cyclones to reach - in the Gulf Stream, water is still about 24-27C at that latitude. 50N seems to be the real breakpoint, as there are only a few that make it that far north.
