I don't think this quiet period will last very much longer.

Thanks! But anyway, as I was saying, I think it'll really kick up around August 1-5. Then I predict it will be active in mid November. With that La Nina forecast to form late September/early October, I think we may peak late this year.

Maybe for the fish in the Atlantic but not for anywhere near the GOM or East Coast.
I just don't see that happening for November.

Typically it last (even in most active years) until the latter half of August. After which business usually picks up rather quickly, thus we probably still have a bit of a wait yet.

Iam thinking this season florida and the carolinas will have to look out for similar tracks like the one like ernesto took which was a hurricane though not for long but the outcome for southflorida could have been much different if ernesto would have come of cuba sooner.Those mountians saved us from a major hurricane.Adrian



In fact on Monday August 28th we awoke to a Discussion saying that Ernesto could be Cat 2 or 3 when it approaced the SE coast of Florida.

We got VERY LUCKY with Ernesto.

I've done this the past two seasons. This is an information thread only. This is not an opinion as to activity levels this hurricane season. This will just be a comparison of formation dates for the last three seasons.

As of August 1st

2005 - 7/3/2 Last Storm TROPICAL STORM GERT formed 7/24. Next Storm - TROPICAL STORM HARVEY formed on 08/03. Season Total 28/15/7

2006 - 4/0/0 Last Storm TROPICAL STORM CHRIS formed 08/01. Next Storm - TROPICAL STORM DEBBY formed on 08/23. Season Total 10/5/2

2007 - 3/0/0 Last Storm TROPICAL STORM CHANTAL formed on 7/31. Next Storm - ??? Season Total ???.


August totals for 2005 - 5/2/1, 2006 - 3/1/0

You forgot the unnamed one from 2006. So far, 2006 is a little bit ahead.

It's interesting to note that the EOS (End of Season) window opens just 5 or 6 weeks from now...

The 1979 season was a good example - after Hurricanes David and Frederic, only Gloria and Henri formed before the season ended in the middle of September (Henri was one of those rare Gulf hurricanes that never made landfall)...

Time is passing, folks - just last week, all of the major department stores were clearing out their Summer stock for the Fall clothing line...

It's also interesting to note all '07 systems (so far) have consisted of well-sheared tropical storms - I'd have to disagree with those who say this year is already above average...

Frank2, it depends who you are talking about when you say end-of-season in 5-6 weeks. For the western Gulf perhaps or even from the carolinas north. But September and October are busy months for Florida. Some big ones have gone through during October. Look at possible analagous year 1935 and also Wilma, and the 1921 CAT 3 that hit Tampa Bay (end of October)...

Remember most of Florida's hits are from the South and west NOT the east.

So for Florida the season typically doesn't end until November and that is about 7 weeks away.

Statistical peak is around 9/15. Calendar peak is Sept 1st. We are on day 68 of 183 just 37% of the season and still have 63% left.
