After Andrea, what will the world see?

#1 Postby HURAKAN » Thu May 10, 2007 2:53 pm

Good question. At the moment there's only an invest in NRL but 98W isn't showing any signs of intensification. Watching the NOGAPS model indicates that the next storm will form in the Western Pacific and move towards the Guam area in about a week. In the rest of the world there are no sings of possible developments according to the model. Time will tell.

Tokyo dropped both LPAs that they had earlier. Anyone seen the ECMWF runs for the SW Pacific recently? Would be rather late in the season (Well it is over technically) for anything to form there. Link

Edit - Anyone know how to shorten the link? The code doesn't appear to be working as usual.

The next system would probably form in the western
pacific, given that WPAC season begans earlier than
atlantic season

While it is true that the season never ends in WPAC (or the Southern Hemisphere for that matter) there is a period of very low activity (February through April) before things start to crank up in May. BTW EPAC starts in 5 days. Another thing to point out is that in WPAC Tropical cyclones can form below latitude 10N and even 5N on occasion-usually early in the year and late.

Interestingly, this topic is about inactivity, a 99B.INVEST just popped up on NRL.

As for the Atlantic? I think Barry will be a June storm but another weak one.

Not sure where you are getting the second bit from from. The SW Indian Ocean season is officially November to the end of April (Or to 15th May for Mauritius and the Seychelles). The Australian season is November to the end of April as is the SW Pacific season.

Of note a new low pressure area has formed in the Bay of Bengal.

Climatologically speaking, the season never ends since TCs can form in the Southern Hemisphere any month of the year and have done so in the past. Yes, the primary season of activity occurs as you say. In WPAC one can say (as I do) that the primary season there runs from 1 May through 31 December with January through April the secondary season.

Southern Hemispher Climo Averages May through October (Number per year)
May 0.9
June 0.2
July 0.4
Aug 0.1
Sep 0.3
Oct 0.7

For WPAC (January Through April)
Jan 0.6
Feb 0.3
Mar 0.5
APR 0.8

Now let someone post the averages for the ATL for June and November.

I was about to write odds on Wpac for next storm development, average by this time of year is 2 however only Kong-rey has formed so far.

Looking at the ECMWF model today they're going for a N Indian Bangladesh landfall in about 80 hours time - will have to keep an eye on that to see if it materialises.
