Within the 'normal' time frame, as the North Atlantic/Caribbean season
is nominally 'opened' on the 15th May.


Certainly "a bit of an oddity" as it originated in the East Pacific as Alma,


There were a couple like it, one successful in 2005, IIRC. There is
time yet though as this spell is a short one and the next according to
the Weatherlawyer Hurricane Unforecast:
"...should install one. Quite a corker of a spell for it too. "

And this spell is or almost was a short one too as tomorrow will
install certain segments of the following already. Those that follow
me are fools, pay no attention to them.

(I poked Dawlish with a stick earlier but he is comatose. Rather like
the frontal parts of his cranial connectives.)
