It seems that they got a little carried away with storm naming. Several of the storms they named did not meet the criteria for naming. One named storm was not even tropical in nature. So it is becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. Merry Christmas! There is another problem with last years predictions. It seems that they got a little carried away with storm naming.

You talked about predictions in an answer you gave yesterday. And sounded like you were against trying to predict anything. So now why this question about the prediction of hurricanes? Also I'm sure you realize they recalculated how they categorize Hurricanes and Tornadoes. I think they named that many storms, last hurricane season, so they wouldn’t look like utter imbeciles.

The problem comes with the reality of the experience. In all of my years, I never expected that we would have a hurricane season in which we went into the Greek alphabet or had a hurricane so close to Christmas(as with Epsilon). I understand from research that there have been hurricanes outside the set season- as in January, February and March. Yesterday, I read about a storm brewing off Puerto Rico; and it is almost mid-December. I guess it is better to predict too much than to be caught off guard with the unexpected.

If that happens the 2008 season should be very similar to 2007. The El-Nino's which tend to deter hurricane development should be much less frequent over the next three decades.
