Hurricane Harbor: Tropics Quiet Thru December According to NOAA Sites. 17 Days Til Hurricane Season Officially Over. Space Weather in Fashion. Small Plane Delivering Relief Supplies for Jamaica Crashes in a Backyard in SFL 2 People Died. Melissa's Misery Lives On. Coast Almost Clear...

Using some NOAA graphics of a different kind that show nothing is expected to form through December 2nd, 2025 when the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season is officially over. There have been hurricanes in December; tropical systems but they are rare and usually far away from land. Should I say land in the USA? Perhaps. Low riders in the Caribbean or far out at sea. So far the coast still seems clear!

All the forecast rain is frontal boundary related.

I'll add Dabuh & I would say

"there's a face there in the red blob"

You can see the old frontal boundary and some areas of rain producing strong rain totals in Central America, but nothing tropical with a circulation just rain. The Auroras were the biggest story this week as we all turned to Space Weather and were in awe of colors lighting up the sky in places that rarely see the Northern Lights. While it was visible far to the South the satellite imagery below was pieced together and showed the image with what looks like a diamond necklace draped around the Canadian US border. That's wild!

That's it. Hung out with my brother this morning for a bit like old times at Starbucks in Hollywood Florida sipping an Iced Cream Brulee Frappe version of my favorite holiday drink and I got a Holiday Cup as a souvenier. The weather is still cool enough to actually sit outside in the shade in Florida. Haven't really had a chance to hang out at my favorite haunts where I grew up in Miami as many of the family have moved up to various cities in Broward County and I'll add they keep moving further North. They all moved for various reasons, lots of gated communities or little cul de sacs for the kiddies to play and lakes nearby and yet it seems a good part of Miami Dade County moved up here as the traffic so the traffic here is crazy and you can go 3 miles and never not be in some sort of School Zone. For real, not kidding. Yet it warmed up enough that I'm debating on whether wearing my boots or my sandals.

Kind of ironic to realize that the only "landfalling" named storm this year in the USA was Tropical Storm Chantal that went directly over my house in Raleigh. I'm happy as I have kids here and would prefer hurricanes keep sliding by South Florida and passing them over for places further up and out at sea.

I will add life in the cute little gated communities with lakes is not always quiet. Very sadly a small plane on the way to deliver relief supplies to Jamaica because of Hurricane Melissa, crashed into a lake crashing on the shore in the backyard of someone's home not in my kids neighborhood but looks very similar. Two people died, not directly related to Melissa but definitely a sad, tragic postcript related to Melissa.
