Since TS Cindy formed on July 3, 2005, we have had the following activity (and moreover, breaks in activity)
Cindy - July 3 - July 6
Dennis - July 4 -Jully 11
Emily - July 10 - July 21
Franklin - July 21 - July 29
Gert - July 23-25
July had all of 4 day not see a storm or depression, July 1, 2, 30 and 31.
Harvey - August 2- August 8
Irene - August 4 - August 18
TD 10 - August 13 - August 14
Jose - August 22-23
Katrina - August 23 - 30
Lee - August 28 - September 1
August had August 1, 19, 20 and 21 (also 4 days) not see a named storm or depression. Howeve,r during most of those days, 19-21, there was a lot of talk about former TD 10, which became involved with TD 13/Katrina.
Maria - September 1 - 10
Nate - September 5 - 10
Ophelia - September 6 - 17
Phillippe - September 17 - 23
Rita - September 17 - 24
TD 19 - September 30 - October 2
September saw 5 days without activity, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29. However, the overlap from Maria, Nate and Ophelia, in addition to Rita and Phillipe means that September probably had the most net activity.
Stan - October 1 - 5
Tammy - October 5 - 6
STD 22 - October 8
Vince - October 9 - 11
Wilma - October 15 - present
Alpha October 22 - 24
So far in October we've had 4 days without activity, October 7, 12, 13 and 14. If the SW Carribean or E Carribean areas develops, we'll probably finish the rest of the month with activity.
So, since the start of July, the season has seen only 18 days without advisories. Those forecasters must be completed drained.
Endless Activity

Very true - very true!
I can honestly say that since I started doing the WATS/GUTS/EATS
stuff, I have a whole new appreciation for what the folks at the NHC do,
and how time consuming it is.
