	2005 Pacific hurricane season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2005 Pacific hurricane season officially began May 15, 2005 in the eastern Pacific and June 1, 2005 in the central Pacific, and lasted until November 30, 2005.
		Hurricane Otis appeared to be heading for an encounter with the Baja California peninsula, but turned north-northwest, paralleling the coast, before dissipating.
		Early on September 30 it was upgraded to a hurricane, and it reached category 2 on October 1 with 105 mph (170 km/h) winds before weakening again as it drifted very slowly northwards.

	THE 1999 HURRICANE SEASON
		When Hurricane Hugo hit the South Carolina coast, no one in Charlotte was prepared for the hurricane force winds and flooding rains that hit the city.
		The 1999 season, which officially starts on June 1, is likely to see more than the usual 10 tropical storms and five to six hurricanes, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said in its Atlantic storm forecast.
		A normal Atlantic hurricane season includes nine to 10 tropical storms, of which five to six are hurricanes and two are "intense" hurricanes with maximum sustained winds of at least 111 mph.

		Conversely, seasonal hurricane activity is typically reduced when the stratospheric QBO is in an easterly phase and the wind shear between 30- and 50 mb is large.
		The major hurricane landfall probabilities by this method for Florida and the East Coast for 1999 are 13.7 times larger than the average for 1991-1994 when the mean NTC was 53 with a weak thermohaline circulation was in place.
		This major hurricane landfall forecast for 1999 is 5.5 times higher than the average for the quarter century period 1970-1994 when the thermohaline circulation was weak and the average NTC was 75.

	Colorado State Hurricane Forecast Team Predicts Active 1999 Season With Double The Chance Of A Major Storm Landfall On ...
		FORT COLLINS--The Colorado State University hurricane forecast team led by William Gray, a nationally recognized expert on tropical storms, is calling for a 1999 season as active as the one that just ended.
		During the June 1-Nov. 30, 1999, season, Gray and his colleagues are predicting that 14 named storms, nine hurricanes and four intense hurricanes will form in the Atlantic Basin.
		Gray pointed out that while the predicted 1999 season would be nearly twice as active as the long-term average in terms of major hurricanes, projected intense storm activity is even higher than this when compared with the relatively quiet quarter-century beginning in 1970.

		The past five seasons have been the most active stretch on record in the Atlantic basin, with 41 hurricanes, of which 20 were "major" hurricanes, Category 3 or above (111 mph winds).
		Five of the eight hurricanes reached Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson scale (winds of at least 131 mph), the most in any single season since records began in 1886.
		We also flew Hurricanes Eugene and Dora in the Central Pacific (these storms were "born" in the Eastern Pacific, and so have EPac names).

	EO News: El Ni¤o Used to Help Predict Severity of Hurricane Season - September 1, 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The severity of hurricane seasons can be predicted by studying the influence of the El Ni¤o weather pattern, concludes a study by Robert M. Wilson, a research scientist at NASA?s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
		A statistical analysis by Wilson of hurricanes that developed in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea between 1950 and 1998 found that when El Ni¤o was present, the number of intense hurricanes in a season has never risen above three.
		The hurricane season begins June 1, peaks around September 10 and ends November 30, although the bulk of major hurricanes occurs between mid-August and mid-October of each year.

	The 1999 Central Pacific Tropical Cyclone Season
		During the 1999 Central Pacific tropical cyclone season, sea surface temperatures in the Eastern and Central Pacific were near normal, except near the equator and in a small area just southeast of the Hawaiian Islands, where there were negative anomalies between 1-2 degrees Celsius.
		However, the 1999 season was substantially less than the 9 tropical cyclones reported in 1997.
		This is in contrast to the 1999 Atlantic tropical cyclone season in which there was a very active period from the latter part of August through the end of November.

		In active seasons such as the one anticipated, there is a higher occurrence of low-latitude major hurricanes.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		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.

James Baker, NOAA's administrator.
