 EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
There were four hurricane seasons since 1949 with characteristics similar to what we observe in May 2004 and what we anticipate for the summer/fall 2004 period.
Thus, based on this analysis, we expect 2004 to be an active hurricane season and in line with the average of seven of the last nine years (1995, 1996; 1998-2001; 2003).

 EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters from their long-term climatology.
We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity of 2004 season as well as the increased Atlantic major hurricane activity of the previous nine years to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.
Regardless of how active the 2005 hurricane season is, a finite probability always exists that one or more hurricanes may strike along the US coastline or the Caribbean Basin and do much damage.

 Worldandnation: Storm frenzy is not an anomaly, but a phase
Now climatologists say frenzied hurricane seasons will be a fact of life for the next 10 to 20 years, part of a lengthy cycle of stormy eras followed by calmer ones.
"The consensus among hurricane researchers and forecasters is that the hurricane landfalls of 2004 resulted from the AMO, a natural cycle of hurricane activity, combined with a lapse in the incredibly good fortune of the previous 35 years," Hugh Willoughby, a hurricane researcher at Miami's Florida International University, wrote in an essay last fall.
As the 2005 hurricane season continues to rage, NOAA reports that half the nation now lives on 17 percent of the land: the coasts.

This is similar to what was predicted for the 2004 season (Atlantic ACE turned out to be 157% ABOVE "normal", or 257% of normal), and, like 2004, suggests most of the enhanced Tropical activity may remain in the Tropics rather than moving quickly N of the Tropics.
According to Gray, the period from 1995-2002 comprised the most active hurricane seasons on record and he believes that we are in a multi-decade period of increased tropical cyclone activity, such as that occurred in the 1940’s and 1950’s.
