Weather Banter

I just spent the worst part of 3 or more days trying to compile the
list of Cat 1 to 5 Tropical storms.

So when I finished, I noticed one rather strange date and looked at
the others to check for any anomalies.

There are a few, marked with asterisks. Not to worry I can double
check them at the Met Office.

Here is the list so far:

I did find one or two slight differences and one major discrepancy
(Javier; might be 10 to the 19th September 2004.)

Unfortunately, the very next one I looked at, Aere is in August or
September 2004.

Or not as the case may be:

Time I was abed. Or a teapot, or something!
