What kind of season you like? Early seasons or late seasons

I prefer late season developments and looks like the 2004 season will be a late season of developments.

Early season means named storms developing at the first weeks of the season but doesn't mean if it is going to be active.

Late season means storms and hurricanes developing at the last weeks of the season from mid october to late november.

I like November and December, even October developments just because they won't be a small tropical wave of Africa (Chris and Ernesto in 2000, for example). I like an active late season, like 2001, especially Olga going into December...

I prefer late season as well as gulf storms usually affect the Eastern Gulf and my area verses early season systems affecting Tx/La...Just makes the season more interresting to me.

Wouldn't we all prefer both early and late season storms?

Hey-Why not just make the cane season year round--then we'd all be happy.

[ColdFront77]

Of course, that's going the other way around... all year round with nothing from December to May.

Well thankfully the Atlantic basin is not active as the West Pacific basin because we would haved to deal with many hurricanes and more major ones.And also another thing is that the Atlantic basin seasons are more short in terms of the peak of it and even shorter is the Cape Verde season.

They both have their advantages. A year-round season would be lovely.

I can see a nasty peak of the season as the mjo kicks into the atlantic by then for a second time in this season.And that means an active CV season as we haved seen some of those waves emerge Africa in recent weeks very well organized but of course they then haved been meeting their forks the sal and shear.

I prefer early season storms mainly because they form closer to the United States and don't have to wait 2 weeks for them to get close to land like late season storms.

Well with me being a avid winter wx fan as well i prefer a early season.

If i had it my way it ould be winter wx from Nov1st till May1st and the tropics the rest of the time.

Living on the East coast i have seen several hurricane's. and donot want any state to get hit.then on the other hand i just love to watch them develope.I couldn't wait for the season to start. so i vote for an early start for this season.

You can have them, Jek.

I prefer a later season.....October/Novemeber storms can still get rather strong, and they have a chance of affecting S. FL. In June and July, storms are usually weak and never seem to affect FL.

I think my favorite "type" of hurricane is the come-up-from-under-Cuba type that you see in Oct./Nov. They are usually large, wet, and lumbering. Also, you get all intensity levels from these storms....ordinary TS's, minimal hurricanes like Irene, and monsters like Mitch and Michelle.

I'm not a big fan of Cape Verde storms. Other than the infamous storms everyone knows, more often than not they are predictable re-curving yawners. Plus, when they (predictably) turn and pass by Florida, they usher in godawful heat and dry air.
