Hurricane ... Alex ... June rarity
 
" MIAMI, June 29 (UPI) -- Alex Tuesday became the first
hurricane of the 2010 season and the first June hurricane since
1955, forecasters in Miami said."

.... I hadn't realised that it was so long since we had an (Atlantic?)
hurricane in June.

The Americans have a strange way of using the language that we
theoretically share. :) For a moment I thought that a hurricane had been
named "Alex Tuesday".

Look at the central pressure of Alex... 959mb, remarkably low for a
Cat 1 hurricane; more typical of a Cat 3, I would have thought. This
is some 28mb deeper than the June 1995 hurricane ("Allison").

Perhaps it is this aspect that should get the experts reaching for the
record books. When was the last time (if at all) such low pressure
was recorded in the North Atlantic basin in association with a June
named system?

Can't believe it's time for an "Alex" again already. The system which
developed from the last "Alex", in 2004, was notable over here for
seemingly barging into an established hot spell and setting up the
pattern which led to the warm wet August of that year.

Doesn't look like this "Alex" is on the same path as that one
though...

Oh, please!

Weather does not cause weather any more that statistics from 30 to 60
years ago does.

SO
why not try using your god given thinkbox? A series of similar set-ups
has a...
what? cause.

I think some of the stiffs on here aught to be lined up somewhere
publicly and ritually abused with long rods as an example for the
rest.

As Nick pointed out very clearly for anyone with a brain, the *only*
similarities are in the fact that it is an early Atlantic hurricane
and in the name. The cause of the name is the person who named it.
Perhaps take you difficulties up with him/her? You must have missed
the bit that said; ".....Doesn't look like this "Alex" is on the same
path as that one". Understandable.


PS At least we could all die laughing at you W.

I must be losing my touch, I'd not seen this one coming ;-)
