A lot of people have died since I first mooted this idea and where has
science taken us? The brink of discovery?

Alas....
....no!

So where did the tropical storms go?

It would appear that this run:
Nov 20 22:18
Nov 28 06:29
Dec 5 00:25
....produced the typhoons that run from the Philippines to
Vietnam/Korea.

Whilst there was something of an over run into this weeks weather
spell, the change was marked as the weather in the UK got warmer than
of late.

This one has finally produced an anticyclone: Dec 12 14:32
So this one: Dec 20 14:01, is likely to grow into one of the sunniest
spells of the month, except that anticyclonic weather is cold at night
it would add to the statistics beloved of metofficers everywhere,
record temperatures.

Dec 27th's spell at 14:48, is likely to provide quite a bit of thunder
all else being equal, so to speak:

On the 31st of December, the declination of the moon is around the 23
degrees north. Counterbalancing the angle of the sun.

That could do it. I'm not saying it will of course. I'm just happy the
typhoons have blown out for the moment.

Time to start preparing next years hurricane forecasts.
