2020 Global ACE: NATL - 179.8 - EPAC - 76.5 - WPAC - 148.5 - NIO - 19.2

I wonder what the total will be after Molave and future Goni/Atsani will be after all is said and done.

Even if all are very strong, the ACE units total will still remain below average. As of October 27 the average is 245.6.

Yes the yearly average will be well short. I was mentioning how maybe it might retake the lead globally.

Plus no recon so ACE will be missing especially if the system gets stronger than forecast and agencies catching up.

People seem to forget that the world's most active basin doesn't have recon yet they compare numbers to the Atlantic which has recon like it's FAIR.

With Zeta's unexpected RI over the last 24 hours, the Atlantic is now only 10 ACE away from "technically" becoming a hyperactive season. I think we will get that in November and depending on future Eta's track and intensity, it might be able to do it itself. Regardless of final ACE, I consider this a hyperactive season.

[Hammy]

Can't say I was expecting the last two storms to get remotely close to the intensity they did. All it would take is one more major and another hurricane or two to push the ACE into official hyperactive territory--something not out of the question given CFS still predicts activity all the way into early December.

Will the WPAC catch the Atlantic?

Will the WPAC catch the Atlantic?

WPAC will get close but Goni will vanish and future Eta will come and the NATL will go away again.

Will the WPAC catch the Atlantic?

WPAC will get close but Goni will vanish and future Eta will come and the NATL will go away again.

It'll be a race the next few days depending on how fast Eta intensifies and Goni weakens.

I can't help but feel like the WPAC tried to cheat by lobbing that Typhoon Maysak-spawned TUTT into the Atlantic, reducing the intensity/longevity of some of the "peak season" (September) cyclones there.

If it wasn’t for that, we could’ve been at 180+ ACE imo.

[1900hurricane]

Goni doing numbers in a hurry.

[euro6208]

At this point, it doesn't matter how much ACE the WPAC produces, this season is deadly even before Goni with 340 deaths.

With the world's strongest landfall, that figure would go up.

This season is not yet over.

Lack of recon means discrepancies in ACE.

[Ryxn]

Atlantic only 0.2 units from attaining hyperactive status in terms of ACE.

[Blinhart]

Atlantic only 0.2 units from attaining hyperactive status in terms of ACE.

So it is a given now.

[1900hurricane]

NAtl crossed the 153 ACE threshold today.

All the 2020 named storms ACE numbers.

What storm globally has the highest ACE this year?

What storm globally has the highest ACE this year?

Teddy #1 with 27.8 followed close by Goni with 26.1.

[1900hurricane]

What storm globally has the highest ACE this year?

Here's a list sorted by which TCs produced the most ACE. Only four NH TCs have an ACE > 20 this year, tied with 2013 and 1981 for the lowest since 1978.

[euro6208]

Incredible that the WPAC in a nina year has 3 spots in the top 5 for highest ACE and 2 spots in the top 3 for highest sustained wind speed globally.

[CyclonicFury]

Atlantic ACE continues to climb, and between Eta, Theta and 98L, reaching 170 seems very possible. This November has already produced 19 ACE in the Atlantic - the most since 2001 - and it appears likely that 2020 will finish with at least the second-highest November ACE value of the satellite era.
