Re: Africa Starting to Become Active
looks like we only have about a month to go until things really ramp up (based on climatology).....

Re: Africa Starting to Become Active
Yes, some nice waves coming across Africa and like Windstorm pointed out the ITCZ is starting to move North... Things may be starting to come together for our next storm before the Month is out IMHO..

Re: Africa Starting to Become Active
Some of the convective increase is likely due to upper-divergence forced by Kelvin waves (MJO-like waves but faster)... see the plots at:

Models keep the big waves coming too...

Re: Africa Starting to Become Active
The waves are lining up like a train in Africa tonight. Also notice that the ITCZ and associated African wave train has shifted north a few degrees as of late....
We are getting closer to the Cape Verde Season and there are definite hints its approaching....
