2024 Tropical Weather Thread

Yeah, that's why I thought it was interesting. It was regarding sunspots having an effect on suppressing tropical development. It was on Storm2k.org where I originally read it.

It was this post on Storm2k:

Per met. Joe D’Aleo:
“We have mentioned the strong solar spike which research has shown can suppress hurricane activity.”

“One negative may be the big spike in solar in cycle 25. Most cycles have had a dual max and recent ones had the second one higher. This warms the upper atmosphere and hampers development.”


@SWJJ There was also something else that I read after looking it up on google. I'll have to look for it again.
