Talk:2005 Atlantic hurricane season/December

message: It looks like we are home free at last. Finally, the exhausted folks at the National Hurricane Centre, and all of us, can enjoy peace and quiet and a much-deserved holiday. Hopefully Mother Nature won't break in and call them in on Christmas Day or anytime around there. 
Merry Christmas to everyone here and in the NHC and other places of interest!!! (or Happy Hanukkah, or whatever you celebrate) CrazyC83 20:40, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Oh dear.  At least it only has a couple days left to develop into a 2005 storm.  I expect it to fall apart at midnight January 1 when it loses the 2005-effect. :p :p --AySz88^-^ 19:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Oh please. This thing isn't even a low pressure area: , it's just scattered showers. It's also under 20-30 knot wind shear . Now could we please stop fretting. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 02:32, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering what on earth that was...it's way out in Vince territory! My estimate on chance of development: 5% into an Invest, 1% into TD30. CrazyC83 03:49, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, this is embarassing. I now find myself eating my words. But this thing seriously developed a low pressure center and significant convection literally overnight. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 18:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It fooled even me; I wasn't expecting it to become Zeta last night either!!! At least 2006 is just around the corner...but I don't know if the tropics will care... CrazyC83 21:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I know this is almost certainly not going to happen (although I might be giving the tropics ideas, it is STILL 2005 after all), but what would happen if a storm was named at the 10:00 pm EST advisory on December 31 (0300 UTC January 1) - would it be named Eta or Alberto? CrazyC83 16:49, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Alberto. They go by the UTC time. At least that's what I read. Hurricanehink 16:51, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

text: This is just plain strange.2 days before 2006 and the 30th Storm forms.Looks like its the season that wouldn't quit. June 8-December 31st maybe?HurricaneCraze32 17:00, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The ONLY thing this season lacked was a pre-season storm like Ana. CrazyC83 17:03, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: December just hasn't seemed like much of a problem for 2005. In 2003, both Odette and Peter developed from the same unusually strong and tropical frontal system. Epsilon and Zeta developed from two seperate weather systems. I think the Atlantic was trying to break the global deadlock. The entire globe has been quiet for the past week or two. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 18:22, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

text: From the 5pm discussion
"ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE SEEMS TO WANT TO DEVELOP TROPICAL STORMS AD NAUSEAM...THE CALENDAR WILL SHORTLY PUT AN END TO THE USE OF THE GREEK ALPHABET TO NAME THEM."
Indeed. No more Greeks. That doesn't nessisarily mean no more storms but no more Greeks. The next storm that forms in the Atlantic,(whenever that is), will be called Alberto. But I'm expecting a fresh round of insanity next year though. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 21:26, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Greek Letter Society has 27 hours to keep producing, and I don't see anything else out there with even a remote chance of development...safe to say Zeta is the end of the road. (Then again, we've closed the book once and surprise!) CrazyC83 21:32, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Zeta developed from clear skies to a tropical storm basically overnight; over a period of about 12-16 hours. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 21:37, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Even though Zeta isn't anywhere near the end of the Greek alphabet, the 'Z' name brings this storm to an appropriate end to this season. Americanadian 09:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I wonder, official end of the hurricane season is November 30 but in recent years, December storm (or storms!) seem to have become norm rather than exception (noteworthy that long-time average for November storms is just 0.5 storms). I realize that we probably are just at the peak of the activity cycle, but if next few years feature December storms too, will they extend "official" season? --Mikoyan21 14:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been thinking about that same thing. Perhaps they could extend the season into December 15 or something. It probably won't happen, but if this December activity continues for several more years, then it might. bob rulz 08:39, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
