TSS- My point was that we DON’T get any ‘weird’ weather, due to our temperate
climate. is doing a geography GCSE tomorrow and is trying to learn all the vocab. 
Though 100
degree weather sounds like it would be fun!
Actually
Dash, the season had basically started with the onset of that subtropical cyclone
system that formed offshore from the eastern continental U.S. not long ago but what is now last
month.
Mitch:
Heh than most of what you see over there is mainly rain, ¿eh? 
Welp, I cant
say that ya dont ever see any type of tropical cyclonic stuff over there in S. California. Once in a while I have
seen storms that are monstrous southwest of the Mexicana coastline and then they sometimes ride northwest towards
Baja Calífornia, and then eventually (Or what is left of the system) rides to Los Angeles and surrounding areas
around your region before it completely dies.
Actually the season officially started on june 1st as it
does every year. And in theory, since Andrea was a sub-tropical storm it doesn’t count, heck it was only about
2-3 years ago that naming sub-tropical cyclones became a standard in the Atlantic basin.
Regardless
though, the season officially runs June 1st - November 30th.
Dory’s Defender - Heheh –
well, actually, we hardly ever get any rain. When we do, it’s duration is either
“normal” or ridiculously long (and, once in a great while, as short as a yard stick…if you get my
meaning). However, we do get the occassional thunderstorm in the fall, even if it only lasts for a short period.
Kinda sucks, actually. (snigger)
Still, even if that sub-tropical cyclone system does count or not, the
name from this current year’s season name list has been used. With that, the result and effect is already there
even no matter if NHC decides to use the official name again.
And on top of that, there was already
“real” TS activity occuring south into the pacific waters only south of the México coastline and names
were also used on those systems that were out there already, even if the season is meant for only Atlantic based
storms on the northern zone of the equator.
And yes I do know when the official dates are for tropical
cyclone events.
I see the onsets of the beginning and ends of the man-made season basically every year around
this time of each year.
Yeah - the East Pacific
season runs May 15 - November 15… 15 days out of phase with the Atlantic season.
The season is really a
man-made device anyway since there have been Tropical Cyclones all 12 months of the year. These are just the 6
months they are most frequent and likely to develop. As a result, it’s the day we in the business
“celebrate” so to speak the start of the season. You gotta remember, the season is not represented by
whether or not there is an active system or even the time alotted between the year’s first and last storm, but
rather the period of time in which, climatologically speaking, a tropical cyclone is statistically most likely to
occur. It’s how we define all seasons.
And in terms of the name Andrea being used that’s completely
superficial. All storms are always reevaluated after the fact anyway and we frequently discover once all the
data is collected that storms were weaker or stronger or of a different type than originally thought. And
subsequently you wind up with the admission that a storm was named that shouldn’t have been or wasn’t that
should’ve been or all sorts of weird scenarios.
I am kind of lucky my house didn’t have any hurricane
damage.
I have lived through an Ice Storm that hit Canada in 1998 and four Hurricanes that hit Florida in
- One was extreme Cold the other was extreme heat both times had no power. So during the ice storm couldn’t
take a shower cause there was no hot water, my dorm got so cold you could see your breath. Had to sleep in my
snow suit.
During the hurricanes there was no A/C in the house and the water purification plant had no
electricity so the water was not clean coming out of the faucet. I was some what prepared for a few days without
electricity for the hurricane. I went and bought a puzzle to put togther during hurricane Charley (since there
was nothing else to do).
