The Atlantic really is throwing all it's energy around at the moment.
Hurricane Frances is en-route to the US, Tropical Storm Ivan is the next one
to watch and is expected to race across the Atlantic in the next few days.

The problem for forecasters in the UK is that we all know that this energy
has to go somewhere. Ex-Hurricanes have no problems blowing away blocking
systems in the Atlantic such as the one building over the UK.

The question isn't if, but when... once these systems complete the full loop
and land on our shores in the next two weeks we'd better be ready for some
real weather action.

My Comment:

This happened in August, and went a long way to
explain the very heavy rainfall we had.

Just seen Philip's website. I think I have answered my own questions:-)
Still seems like we will have a nice September though.

Even better... http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/, which if people would check, would
give a better indication and information on tracks of hurricanes and
tropical storms, than some vague and ill-informed twaddle from people that
should do more research before peddling spurious gossip dressed up as fact.

Good day to you all.

Well said Rob.

For ex-tropical disturbances to *directly* affect our weather, ie have their
humidity entrained in mid-latitude depressions, the storms have to turn north
before landfall in the States, otherwise their energy and latent heat release
gets spent. Of course they will still affect the general circulation but by then
the models will be able to handle that.

What's the betting now that if it turns wet in two weeks time certain people
will be saying "there I told you so", I would challenge them to produce the
evidence. I would prefer to call it 'autumn'.

Will.
