Technically each basin should have it's own letter. L is assigned for North Atlantic systems, so technically 90L is incorrect. T has been typically used, mainly by the UKMO. Q is just silly. Probably just as silly as Britney Spears' career.

Every basin has a different letter. L is the North Atlantic, and T should be the South Atlantic. No basin has the letter Q.

For instance if we have TD 13 in the Atlantic it is TD 13L, and in the SW Indian Ocean it would be TD 13R.

Edit - Beaten to it. Yes as I said if the Met Office use the letter that is good enough for me.

All I can think of is there is a Q in the Atlantique (French) so maybe the same is true in Portuguese.*

*Yes I know this is unlikely to be the reason why but I can't think of anything better. :lol:

Or the Q stands for quasi, as in a quasi-tropical cyclone but then again I'm not sure they would use Latin either. :lol:

Heck yeah thats a cyclone...The systems down there are smaller+not as deep because they have to form in less then faverable enviroment. I was just looking at a loop in it had banding. But seems to be being pulled eastward now but still a nice cdo with nice spin. It is over 26 to 27c water for now. wahoooo!!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't call this tropical storm number 4 yet. It's only 25kt. Simmer down... it's only a tropical disturbance.

...and who said impossible? :wink:

Looking impressive.

Looking at least a tropical depression. Any way at this rate it will be a tropical storm soon if it keeps up.

Why simmer down?

january 2004
march 2004 the hurricane
feb 23 2006???

Very much so, really interesting to see something like this down there again.

I guess it is also 10 minute averages as well so 25kts is overdoing it a bit. :wink:

Yes, that's nice... but you shouldn't call it something it is not. When and if it becomes a tropical storm, then go for it. Until then, it's just confusing.

The 25kt was a 1-min average. That would be around 20kt for a 10-min average.

We will see. I got a slightly different view on this.
