A lull in the Atlantic,When will it end?

[cycloneye]

Distint from recent weeks when we saw big areas of convection roll out of Africa a not active period is arriving as Sal is dominating (Normal for July).99 still is up there but still is fighting the upper trough as it moves thru the fishes NW.Some waves haved moved at fairly high latituds from Western Africa causing them to weaken as they get into more cooler waters above 15n in the Eastern Atlantic.But I fear once August rolls in activity will pick up again in that part of the world.But in the meantime after Emily is gone we will have some rest.

We can only hope Luis! Thank goodness.

[beachbum_al]

I hope so but shhh! The tropics might hear you and form another wave which turns into the next storm.

[Terry]

So may be we can catch up on sleep once Emily dissipates!

You are right the tropics are full of surprises and when you think nothing is out there something begins to take shape.

The scary thing is that with all the activity in the first weeks of the season in June and July things will break lose again.There may be a couple of quiet weeks but activity will pick up again when August arrives.

[P.K.]

I've only been following the tropics properly for a year (Since Charley) but it does seem like we've had this invest system there for longer than is usual. Now the Atlantic is calming down a bit a couple of the other basins seem to be picking up their level of activity though.

Maybe that change in activity of the basins is related to the MJO factor.The Atlantic will enter the dry phase now while the WPC and EPAC will be in the wet phase.

[wxwatcher91]

I'm predicting one more named storm before August rolls around. I'm saying it will be weak though... MAYbe reaching cat 1 strength
