Hurricane Season Comes to a Close

December 1, 2021

Hurricane season for this year is officially over. Despite relatively low activity in October and November, which was not expected, this season was still the 3rd most active on record, exhausting all of the names on the list.

Up here in the mid-latitudes the weather has been pretty benign, other than being a bit chilly. Today is also the first day of meteorological winter (yay). With things being pretty quiet I took the opportunity to take a break for a little and there wasn't much to report anyways. Looking towards the future there's not much in the way of high impact weather in store. 

It will be mostly dry through the weekend with rain moving into the southeast late Monday persisting through midweek or later. You can see the climate outlooks for the next few weeks below. Temps will be warmer than average with some decent prep in the short term and precip getting back close to normal for week two.

The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is currently in a La Nina phase (again). Below is the expected pattern for winter (typically), although variations can occur.


That's it for now. This time of year can bring some severe weather so that is something to be aware of although it has been a fairly quiet fall severe weather season so far.
