Tropical Storm Zeta

Not sure if this is completely unusual but we've now got another named storm in the Atlantic: Tropical Storm Zeta.  At least 30 days outside of hurricane season.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Loadsa records this year, then?

IIRC it's something like the earliest hurricane, earliest tropical storm, most tropical storms, strongest hurricane, latest tropical storm and - I think - the most northernly or somesuch.

2006 is here...the next storm will be drawn from this years list of names starting with A.  It'll be interesting to see what sort of season we get this year with "last years" season still playing out.

It seams to me that we have swiyched our seasons with the West Pacific. The scary thing about that is that their season runs a lot longer than ours they also see more super hurricanes than us, normally several each year. So, sad to say if indead the cycle did flip, this is the norm for a good while.

Also Zeta looks to be strengthening, wouldn't surprise me to reach hurricane status.
