Re: When will we get our next Category 5 in the Atlantic?
To be fair, I think it'll be later this year. Like next month in the WCAR. I have a feeling this question will soon have an answer 
Edit: Ian apparently got upgraded to Cat 5 status!

Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.

September 3rd, 2025… hurricane Fernand breaks the drought. Don’t worry, there’ll be a couple of systems tagged at 155 mph to keep everyone speculating in between, though…
(That being said, it wouldn’t be that surprising to see a WCar monster before this season’s up)

Or we might just get several 155-mph storms.

Re: When will we get our next Category 5 in the Atlantic?
Considering the SSTs and favorable environment I'm going for 2 category 5's this year with the first one already in August. If so it would be the first Atlantic August C5 since Dean in 2007.
