A Break
For the first time since Danielle popped up on August 21 until Lisa and Matthew faded yesterday, there are no tropical storms of any kind in the Atlantic Basin.
During the period there were ten tropical storms, six of them became hurricanes, and of the six, only Lisa didn’t become a major hurricane [category 3 and above].
The effects of Karl are still being dealt with in the upper Midwest, primarily Wisconsin, as flooding from Karl’s moisture dumped rain in the watersheds that far North.
It will be months before Newfoundland can repair the damage from Igor, even with the assistance of the newly arrived Canadian military units.
The nations around the Caribbean have experienced almost constant tropical rain as system after system sprang up down there, causing flooding and landslides.
Even with a late start, this has been an active season, and it continues through the end of November.

We’re melting out here.
Yeah, Badtux, has mentioned it a couple of times.
This was always the hottest part of the year in San Diego, but it was usually tied to the Santa Anas.
I just looked at the barometric pressure chart and it looks like the remnant of Georgette, the storm that came up the Gulf of California, has been blocked by a high pressure area over Colorado. That means you are getting winds off the desert while they are getting the moisture on the east side of the Rockies.
It should only be short-lived.
If it doesn’t end soon….I’m going to be “short-lived” It’s 10:32 and getting HOTTER! 🙁
I checked again this morning and the lows haven’t moved all that much, but the high is beginning to break down so relief is coming, albeit not as fast as you want.
It was a bit cooler today. We actually got some wind…warm, moist wind. For a second I thought I was in your neck of the Country. Can you say…”Earthquake weather?”
Earthquake weather? In San Diego we called it June – night and morning low clouds, temperature 72°.
