		Hurricane Alex was the strongest hurricane on record to intensify north of 38 degrees longitude.
		Hurricane Ivan is blamed for at least 70 deaths in the Caribbean and 50 in the United States, mostly due to massive flooding.

	Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update
		The season is also expected to be slightly less active than previously forecast on 22 May 2006, when 13-16 Named Storms, 8-10 hurricanes, and 4-6 major hurricanes were predicted.
		An important measure of the total seasonal activity is NOAA’s ACE index, which accounts for the collective intensity and duration of Atlantic named storms and hurricanes during a given hurricane season.
		Hurricane seasons during 1995-2005 have averaged 15 named storms, 8.5 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with an average ACE index of 179% of the median.

	2004 Hurricane Season In Florida
		Hurricane Charley began as a tropical disturbance that emerged from the west coast of Africa during the first couple of days of August.
		During the next 24 hours hurricane Charley made a gradual turn from WNW to NNW as the storm was approaching a more like an October type mid-latitude trough digging into the central Gulf of Mexico as the storm steadily intensified.
		As Frances moved into the central Bahamas the upper level anticyclone which was well established over the hurricane during the previous few days began to de-couple from the hurricane and was re-positioned just to the east of the storm and caused a southerly shear over the hurricane as it approached the western Bahamas and Florida.

	BBC - Weather Centre - Features - Understanding Weather - The Hurricane Season
		The term hurricane is used to describe storms that occur in the Atlantic with wind speeds of 75mph and above.
		The most favourable areas for hurricane development changes throughout the hurricane season, particularly as the sea temperatures in the 'basins' increase and then decrease with the coming and going of the Northern Hemisphere Summer.
		At the beginning of the season, storms tend to form in the Gulf of Mexico, the western Caribbean and near the Bahamas.

	Forecasters Predict an Active Atlantic Hurricane Season
		Five of those hurricanes are expected to become intense, and the probability of a major hurricane landfall in the United States is estimated to be about 55 percent higher than the long-term average.
		The more active season is expected because of other environmental conditions favorable to hurricanes, such as the location of the Bermuda high removing much of the wind shear in the western Atlantic that thwarts hurricanes, and warm sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico.
		The hurricane team's forecasts are based on the premise that global oceanic and atmospheric conditions - such as El Niño, sea surface temperatures and sea level pressure - that preceded active or inactive hurricane seasons in the past provide meaningful information about similar trends in future seasons.

	Canadian Hurricane Centre: Atlantic Hurricane Season 2004 Outlook
		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.

	CNN.com - Above-normal hurricane season forecast - May 17, 2004
		Six to eight storms are predicted to become hurricanes with two to four storms developing into major hurricanes ranked as Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane strength.
		Previous hurricane seasons similar to NOAA's forecast averaged two to three hurricanes that made landfall in the continental United States, and one to two hurricanes in the region around the Caribbean Sea.
		The National Hurricane Center monitors the oceans and determines a weather disturbance is a tropical storm when its wind speeds are faster than 39 mph.

	A Look At The Eastern Pacific Season So Far In 2004--9/6/04.
		Despite the sluggish start last year, the Eastern Pacific still managed to equal the activity in the Atlantic with 16 named storms, 7 hurricanes, but unlike the Atlantic, had no major hurricanes although there were a number of Category Two storms.
		Now, conditions improved the latter portion of the season in the Eastern North Pacific, which led to numbers that paralleled much of those in the Atlantic, but the latter still had a better year with more major storms, and damage including $3.37 billion from the effects of Hurricane Isabel.
		However, it is important to note that hurricane season in the EASTPAC begins in the middle of May while the Atlantic season begins at the beginning of June.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		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.

	NOAA Issues 2004 Experimental Eastern Pacific Hurricane Outlook
		The prediction indicates a 45 percent probability of a below-normal eastern Pacific hurricane season during 2004, a 45 percent probability of a near-normal season, and only a 10 percent chance of an above-normal season.
		The outlook calls for 13-15 tropical storms (average is 15) to form in the eastern Pacific during 2004, with 6-8 becoming hurricanes (average is 9), and 2-4 becoming major hurricanes (average is 4-5).
		“NOAA’s 2004 Eastern Pacific Hurricane Outlook is important to people in the southwestern U.S. and parts of Mexico because a suppressed season reduces the likelihood of rain from these systems, especially in Arizona, California, New Mexico, western Texas and Baja California,”; said Jim Laver, director the NOAA Climate Prediction Center.
