Hurricane update - 21 October

Haven't done one of these for a while, as the hurricane season appears to be whimpering out. Only just over a month left of it. The southern hemisphere is beginning to warm up, and the first attempts at tropical cyclones are starting to emerge. Anything threatening land down there will feature in this blog as well.

In the Northern Hemisphere, I need to post an advance warning for southern Baja California and the coast facing the peninsula, which can expect a visit from tropical storm (possibly hurricane) Paul by Wednesday, October 25th. As I indicate, it won't be much more than a weak category 1 hurricane at the very best. As Paul moves inland, its associated moisture will affect northern Mexico and southern and western Texas - in other words, expect a wet end to next week if you're in that area.

  2. After a hectic 2005 hurricane season in the northern hemisphere, this year shaped up so far as a pretty quiet no landhit major storm season. Thankfully. The southern hemisphere looks like it may be just as quiet with El Nino conditions becoming established.
    But then again who knows with the likes of Mother Nature. Take care Guido. Be well.
