Does anyone remember the day when there were NOT 'tornado outbreaks?'

That is the characteristic of tornado season. To begin, there really hasn't been an end to tornado season from 2011. It slowed down, but, it never really stopped. The geographical occurences of the touchdowns are very random besides.


Tornado season is only just beginning, (click title to entry - thank you) but already this year has seen dozens of destructive twisters from Illinois to Texas, where up to 18 might have touched town on Tuesday alone in the Dallas-Fort Worth area....

Also noted near the tropics and the West Pacific are accumulations of tropical distrubances. There was a minor distrubance near the Yucatan today, but, it has dissipated into the tail of the vortex north of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

The tropical Atlantic Ocean hurricane season usually is normally described as June 1st through November 1st.

In 2010 and 2011 the season started in late June, but, the years 2007 thought 2009 the season started in late May.  With the troposphere this hot, it can start early, however, as seen with Irene last year there has to be a huge accumulation of water vapor to ignite the first one. But, the tropical activity in the area of the Yucatan both in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific is providing a question about a calmer season until August.
