In this thread it will be a discussion of Hurricanes and Tropical Storms for calendar year 2013. No flames will ever be responded to in this thread. Only intelligent discussion regarding Cyclonic activity in the Northern Hemisphere will be taken seriously. All flames and troll comments can be posted here:

Look forward to the discussion!
There is a weak Tropical System in the Gulf called Andrea, first named storm. A rainmaker, might cause a few accidents on the highway, nothing major. Carry on. /end

Andrea
Barry
Chantal
Dorian
Erin
Fernand
Gabrielle

Which one do you think is going to hit YOU?
Have you ever done a top 10 list for hurricanes?
Have you ever thought about making some sort of career with your curious interest in tropical storms?
How do you feel about typhoons vs. hurricanes?
All names I suspect would give a good blow job.Quote:

Are you praying for a catastrophic hurricane so this thread blows up?
don't shoot the messenger, bottomset is just a vessel for a higher purposeQuote:

Dorian?
Do your fucking job Bottomset; 200k liquid is no reason to abandon your post as PFA Official Meterologist
There was nothing going on with that storm day 1. Anything before mid August is generally a waste of time. Water is not hot enough yet in most parts of the Atlantic.Quote:

Atlantic Hurricane season ends with fewest amount since 1982
Fewest hurricanes since 1982 despite warnings of an active season

WASHINGTON (CMC) – The United States National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season officially ended on Saturday with the fewest amount of hurricanes since 1982.
NOAA attributed the fewer hurricanes in large part to “persistent, unfavourable atmospheric conditions over the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and tropical Atlantic Ocean.”
It said this year was expected to rank as the sixth-least-active Atlantic hurricane season since 1950, “in terms of the collective strength and duration of named storms and hurricanes.”
“A combination of conditions acted to offset several climate patterns that historically have produced active hurricane seasons,” said Dr. Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Centre, a division of the US National Weather Service.
“As a result, we did not see the large numbers of hurricanes that typically accompany these climate patterns,” he added.
NOAA said 13 named storms formed in the Atlantic basin this year. Two, Ingrid and Humberto, became hurricanes, but neither became major hurricanes.
It said although the number of named storms was above the average of 12, the numbers of hurricanes and major hurricanes were “well below” their averages of six and three, respectively. Major hurricanes are categories 3 and above.
“This unexpectedly low activity is linked to an unpredictable atmospheric pattern that prevented the growth of storms by producing exceptionally dry, sinking air and strong vertical wind shear in much of the main hurricane formation region, which spans the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, also detrimental to some tropical cyclones this year were several strong outbreaks of dry and stable air that originated over Africa,” Bell said.
NOAA said it will issue its 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Outlook in late May, prior to the start of the season on June 1.
