Tropical ‘Depression’ Hanna – 2014

We usually do not report on Tropical Depressions, however, for some reason, the National Hurricane Center in Miami felt the need to ‘name’  a depression in the western Caribbean – Hanna.  This is not a common practice and the storm in question will be torn apart by the mountains that it will be encountering in 18 hours or less along the eastern coast of Central America near the Nicaragua / Honduras border. This will be our only mention of this ‘storm’.

Quiet Times in the Tropics – October 7, 2014

As a result of high speed upper level air currents associated with the Jet Stream branches, very little Tropical System development has taken place thus far this season in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.  As storms form in the Tropics and sub Tropics, the tops of these storms are sheared off by the upper level winds, preventing any major development.  This trend will be continuing for the time being, but we will continue to monitor any areas that may have the potential for Tropical Storm development and report here in this area of the website.

Thank you for following our unofficial advisories and updates.
