It seems that we are once again moving into an enhanced (moist) period of the MJO. This is just in time for the beginning of the peak of the 2004 Hurricane Season.
We have yet to see a true Cape Verde hurricane yet. With the exceptions of Danielle. This could bring us into a very active period for the next 30-45 days.
If you even look into the WPAC, there are a couple of storms there now left over from the passing of the enhanced MJO.

Questions haved arised about ths factor.In the dry phase of MJO 5 named systems formed in the atlantic basin with 2 majors.Is the data wrong showing the dry phase at that time or in reallity it was the wet phase by early august that came to the atlantic and caused all that activity?.Some here haved said that MJO is not a big factor to determine how the atlantic will be in terms of activity.So what is going on in reallity with this?
