It's almost like 2020 heard people talking about the lack of majors, hurricanes and ACE at the start of October and was like: 'are you challenging me?'. Just to show how crazy this is: if Theta becomes a hurricane it would mean there have been as many hurricanes in the last 30 days as there were in the 30 days before that (Paulette, Sally, Teddy, Delta vs. Epsilon, Zeta, Eta and now possibly Theta). So in terms of the # of hurricanes we're basically still at this year's September level activity (which btw wasn't just your average September but also a record breaking active month) and it's November.

ASCAT is the best reason why Theta might be the 3rd ever Subtropical Hurricane

Possibly but I have never seen them call a subtropical hurricane. For instance in 2016 Nicole was said to have subtropical characteristics while it was a large C1 but they opted not to call it a S1. Similarly the same thing was done with Alex (went from SS straight to C1).

Alex has tropical characteristics with a center just before becoming a hurricane & Nicole was becoming a EX tropical cyclone as a hurricane.

Just woke up and somehow Theta is already almost a hurricane... What a season lol

My reaction to Theta almost a hurricane:

I mean as long as it doesn't try to take a trip to Europe I'm completely rooting for it

Well, it might head for Spain

The poll thread that was put up a few weeks ago on how many storms do we think will form in November... I put down 3 storms in November, at the time I posted my guess on number of systems, I must be honest and say that I did not actually think it may occur (it hasn't yet)....but it seems as if it's a possibility...

What European weather agency covers Tropical activity for Spain, and the region?...Is it Meteo France by any chance?... I like to visit different countries weather sites, and read their discussions...

Meteo France covers the Azores, Spain, & all of Western Europe.

There was one such post from Force 13 on Youtube, was that the one you were talking about?

No, actually Ice, I am referring to the 2K poll we took, on how many storms each member thought may occur in November, do you remember that?...

No, I never knew this site existed until last month!

My bad Ice... forgives....

Would they go 65 kt while still subtropical? That wouldn't be a "hurricane" though, since by definition, a hurricane is tropical? (Although they'd probably find a way to fudge it...)

It's 2020... Subtropical Hurricane Theta would fit perfectly in this season lol
