[cycloneye]

Ok folks,here is the poll you were waiting for,the forecast numbers poll for, the 2025 North Atlantic Hurricane Season that is here to forget about the very cold winter than many of tye members have been thru and talk about tropical weather and see how the season will be in terms of the numbers. Below are a few tips about this poll:

Countdown to the start of poll:

1-You can post your numbers whenever you want between April 1 at 2 PM EDT and May 31st at Midnight EDT when the poll closes. Also members can add a brief commentary if you want to do so about why you have the numbers you posted in the poll.

2-You can post a set of numbers and not change them anymore and in that case, I will consider your numbers as final.

3-If you have preliminary numbers and later post final ones, those will be posted with the word Final. If by May 31rst at Midnight EDT when the poll closes,there are still members that have preliminary numbers,I will consider them as final ones.

4-Any early named system(s) that may form before June 1rst will count for the set of numbers.

5-If a system is upgraded from a Tropical Storm to a Hurricane in Post-Season Report,it will count for the final tally to see which members came close or nailed the numbers.

6-(Optional) The ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) numbers for the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season will not count for the poll but if any member wants to post what they think about how the ACE will be,go ahead.

7-Anyone can participate,from the pro mets,those who like Tropical Weather and like to track tropical systems,those who don't know a lot about tropical weather,and the newbies too are welcomed.I know that the numbers are not the most important thing in a season, but more important are where the storms will go,so it doesn't matter how many named storms form,as it only takes one storm to do all the damage to an area. However,it's always very interesting to make a poll like this to see what the members think about the numbers game and how active or not the season will turn out and at the end of the season, will see how many members get close or tie what the 2024 season will offer.

8-Dont worry if you are not added fast to the list because,as soon I come on-line, will be added. So let's get this thing rolling guys and gals and let's see if this 2025 poll has a better participation than the 2024 one,that only had 81 members participating. Can we do much better having 200+ participants?
