from this site also shows a circulation together with an eye, although
this diminishes with time.

However, it will be interesting to see what / if rainfall amounts maybe
experienced in the Canary Islands in the next few days, as this seems to
be the track the Hurricane Centre takes it.

All this seems quite remarkable given that we are almost into December!

Hi Keith,

Closely monitoring all North Atlantic Tropical Systems since 1979,
the latest date for a named storm was 'Lili' in 1984, still a Tropical
Storm on the 23rd December while bearing down on the Diminican
Republic (from a NE'ly direction). Lili formed on the 16th December.

ATB,

Nigel.



That is late. Mindyou, who's to say it's all over yet!

Thanks Nigel.
