The Atlantic and East Pacific hurricane seasons came to a close last night.
Weather updates from the NHC will resume on May 15th, 2007 for the East Pacific and on June 1st, 2007, for the Atlantic basin.
The Atlantic has had a mercifully quiet season, with no hurricanes making landfall on mainland USA. There were 9 named systems (the last being Isaac).
The Eastern Pacific has seen a reasonably active season, with Sergio as the last hurricane only a few weeks ago. The most intense hurricane was Daniel, which roared out in the open Pacific. A number of hurricanes struck the Mexican Pacific coast.
The Central Pacific
hurricane season is also closed. They had one major hurricane, Ioke,
which lasted for a record 2½ weeks, with almost a week at category 5
strength.
Meanwhile, typhoon Durian has just hammered the Philippines, and the southern ocean is just getting into gear for their summer season. One system is declining west of Madagascar, and another is weakening on moving south from the Solomon Islands.
