Seriously. We're about to officially enter hurricane season, and we haven't had any tropical storms.
| Year | First Storm Date | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 | May 9 | ||
| 2006 | June 10 | ||
| 2005 | June 8 | ||
| 2004 | July 31 | ||
| 2003 | April 20 | ||
| 2002 | July 14 | ||
| 2001 | June 4 | ||
| 2000 | June 7 | ||
| 1999 | June 11 | ||
| 1998 | July 27 | ||
This is all from Wikipedia, which also says "The [2003] season is one of only four with a storm before and after the official bounds of the season; the others are 1887, 1953, and 2007." In the last ten years, the first tropical storm has been in the first two weeks of June 5 times, in July 3 times, and in May and April each once.
2008's only got three days to join this exclusive club. Can it do it?
ATLANTIC OCEAN...I'm thinking not.
