	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		We foresee an above-average hurricane season for the Atlantic basin in 2005.
		Thus, based on this analysis, we expect 2005 to be an active hurricane season and in line with the average of eight of the last ten years (1995, 1996; 1998-2001; 2003, 2004).
		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.

		The hurricane season officially runs from June through November when the waters of the Atlantic are warm enough to produce tropical cyclones.
		The Canadian Hurricane Centre reminds Canadians that anytime there’s a prediction of increased hurricane activity overall in the Atlantic, it means that there’s a greater chance that one or more of these storms will make their way northwards and affect Canada.
		Hurricane Juan delivered conditions much worse than they expected because it was a stronger storm that made landfall just west of Halifax, bringing the storm’s highest winds (in the eastern eyewall) directly over the city.

	RIGZONE - Active 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season to Be Less Busy than in 2005
		While the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season is still expected to be "very active," the good news is it is not expected to rival the ferocity of last year's record-setting season, according to Colorado State University's Tropical Meteorology Project (TMP), headed up by respected researchers Philip J. Klotzbach and William M. Gray.
		Reiterating their position on global warming's affect on hurricane activity, Klotzbach and Gray said that despite the global warming of the sea surface of about 0.5 degrees Celsius that has taken place over the last three decades, global numbers of hurricanes and their intensity have not shown increases in recent years except for the Atlantic.
		Looking at the active Atlantic hurricane years of 2004 and 2005, the forecasters said "it is rare" to have two consecutive years with such a strong simultaneous combination of high amounts of major hurricane activity together with especially favorable steering flow currents.
