It's September already!

September is the worst month of the H-season. We have been very thankful for how nice this summer has been and we hope it only continues to improve.

Here's an image of Tropical Storms for 2006 that comes from http://www.wunderground.com/tropical

Today we have a tropical wave passing through, but it's not too bad. There's two other waves out there in the Atlantic right now:
  • along 39w S of 18n with a 1009 mb low along the wave near 11n moving W near 10 kt
  • along 20w/21w S of 17n moving W 15 to 20 kt.
We have had quite a bit of atmospheric dust which, while it doesn't make for pretty skies, it does put a damper on these tropical systems.

Once again, here is the statistical graph:


Here's hoping for a safe and sane season...
