[STORMREPORTS] This year' season

From: rafapr (rafapr{at}centennialpr.net)
Date: Mon Sep 30 2002 - 20:31:04 EDT


With 66% of this year's hurricane season under the belt, I'd bet this has
been the most active September in a long time. Just this month, we've seen 8
storms, Edouard, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, Isidore, Josephine, Kyle and Lili. 4 of
these have reached hurricane strength.

September, 2002 discards any forecasts that this season would be less
active. The entire season was supposed to have only 9 storms and 4
hurricanes. So just the activity we've seen this month, makes up for the
entire season.

Since June, we've seen 12 storms and 4 hurricanes, one of which was rather
large, Isidore.

The tropical breeding area might have slow, so far. But we've seen 9 of the
season's storms forming north of 20°, essentially posing no threats to the
Caribbean.

The season has brought very little activity, as far as Puerto Rico goes.
There have been a few days, where we've had some rain and gusts associated
to developing systems. But Puerto Rico has been spared of any serious. Our
Cuban friends, at the other end of the Antilles, have felt the effects of
Isidore and Lili is almost about to border Cuba's southern coast.
