It has been a quiet May in the tropics. Even though Chanchu was a severe storm that caused around 50 deaths, it has been the only storm to from during May in the world. It's not all that unusual to have a storm in May in the Southern Hemisphere, but this year after Monica everything has been very quiet. We are still waiting for the first storm in the EPAC that historically speaking it usually forms during the first two weeks of the hurricane season.
Opinions are always welcome!!!

Well, this may be my first post, but I call as I see it. And does it really matter if it is my first post? Do I really have to have hundreds and thousands of post to be welcomed? I don't and won't post much, but threads like this are irritating as you can see by some of the other posts being done. Some people just don't like it (takes up too much computer space)..

TheAnalyst,
Most of us, maybe you're not included, like to track tropical cyclones, and when there's a quiet time like the one we are experiencing now, it's kind of boring for us. Sorry if this thread was unprofessional and inadequate for your taste, nevertheless, you have the right to respond to it as well as going to visit another thread.
I guess you were not here to see more than 10 pages of discussion of a non-tropical low near Bermuda a few weeks ago. I didn't like the discussion because I found it was unnecessary, but everyone has their own opinion and should be respected according to the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.
By the way, welcome to the forum, you will learn a lot about tropical cyclones and more!

My exact thoughs as I scrolled down after reading his sentence. I belive the original comment may have been posted to set off a 4-5 page thread of arguments and other such replies.
COMPUTER SPACE???? HMMM
Thank you the analyst now the thread will be a few pages long more to read during the slow period

Yes,the tropics haved quiet down at this time.Even the Atlantic ITCZ has been less active than in the past few days. IMO,it's the calm before the real action starts in the Western Pacific,The Eastern Pacific and the Atlantic Basin.
A question for TheAnalyst. Why this thread so irritating to you? As it's a legit theme to discuss as is for real a calmer world tropics at this time.

Just to add some useful information to this topic, it is interesting to note that the ridging and steering/breezes/African and Lesser Antilles wave convection pattern is very summer-like throughout the eastern and central Atlantic, with strong Azores High ridging in place and easterlies vigorous. Look at the current imagery and patterns!
Notice the easterlies dominating much of the tropical Atlantic in that image above and in the images below... the lower, middle, and upper-level air patterns support it and are indicative of Azores High ridging and active wave summer-like activity, with wave bursts coming off the African coastline periodically and moving west or west-northwest towards the Lesser Antilles. Notice that in the images below, too!
Water vapor supports it in the eastern and central Atlantic, indicating summer-like Azores High ridging, steering, and African/Antilles convective wave patterns.

Look at the summer-like pattern(s) in the current map above!
African infra-red imagery
Definately shows hints of a summer-like convective pattern in the image above!
What do you think?
