Tropical depression Cosme is presently making for Johnston Atoll, a speck in the wide Pacific Ocean in the middle of nowhere. Winds won't be more than 30 mph once it gets there, and there remains this questionmark over the longevity of Cosme. However, if she keeps going the way she was, this system will have made a journey across 50 degrees of longitude by then, having started life 8 days ago somewhere on the 127th degree longitude West. Cosme will cross the dateline within the next 3 or 4 days, and into the Western Pacific.
Still on the unusual hurricane season (not seen a hurricane in the Atlantic yet), a tropical system may form in the southern hemisphere: the amber light is on over something near Diego Garcia in the southern Indian Ocean. Am keeping a close eye on that one.

I would imagine at anu given time there are storms/baby hurricanes going on all over the world. Thats why I wonder about the safety of these people who take off in a little sail boat (or like the gal that left the USA rowing a boat) and head across the sea. Linda in rainy Washington state
ReplyDeleteYes, it has been quiet... I wonder if that means the end of the season will be awful...
