  1. Ok, dear Paul, I understand your opinion and I am glad, because there is scope of the forum to become more international. But I want to tell you my opinion.

    The forum is 10 years old and it has 14256 members. I suppose that about 14.000 of them are from UK or Ireland and I also suppose that the forum has 2000 active members. According to wikipedia, UK and Ireland have 70.000.000 population, but around the word English language is spoken by 2.000.000.000 people (approximately). So, analogically in the next 10 years the forum can have 400.000 members around the world and 57.000 active ones.

    Really, I believe that if we want, in 10 years we can have 200.000 members and 25.000 active ones (from 2000 who are now).

    The reason why I believe in this forum is that it has the best foundations to become an excellent international forum and this time I think there is not competition with other one. But, I can imagine that every day, people from all the places in the world who speak English look for an English forum to register for discussing about weather and they visit the netweather.tv. When they realize that it is only a British forum, they avoid or they hesitate to register. This is the major thing which we must change if we really want to outstretch the forum's power.

    Anyway, I hope the best to the forum, and thanks dear Paul for your work. If you need my help about everything for making the forum more international don't hesitate to contact me (ideas, suggestions, etc).

    Thank you.

  2. Hurricane 3 of 1899 is the longest lasting Atlantic hurricane on record. Lasted from August 3rd- September 4th 1899. Also known as the San Ciriaco hurricane.

    I understand, but now I am wondering, how was our level of watching and following a hurricane this period? Did we have good equipment? We are talking about 113 years ago. Obvious without computers...

  3. The 1971 animation is very interesting with Hurricane Ginger being the second longest lasting Atlantic hurricane on record. Just look at how many storms form and dissipate within Ginger's lifespan!

    We are talking about one month duration? I cannot believe it... I am surprised. 6 September 1971 - 5 October 1971. But what is the FIRST longest lasting Atlantic hurricane on record?

  5. Unfortunately it is not going to Florida dear RossB.

    Tropical Storm "Debby" has formed in the central Gulf of Mexico.

    A tropical storm warning has been issued for the Louisiana coast from the mouth of the Pearl River to Morgan City - not including the city of New Orleans or Lake Pontchartrain. Debby is centered about 220 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, moving slowly north. A turn to the west is expected on Sunday, taking the center of the storm over the northern Gulf of Mexico during the next few days.

    1. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS GRADUALLY INCREASING IN

    ASSOCIATION WITH A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 175

    MILES NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENNISULA. RECENT SATELLITE DATA AND

    SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE CIRCULATION OF THE LOW

    REMAINS QUITE BROAD WITH A LARGE AREA OF LIGHT WINDS NEAR THE

    CENTER. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE FOR A TROPICAL

    DEPRESSION TO FORM DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS THIS DISTURBANCE

    DRIFTS NORTHWARD. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE...80 PERCENT...OF

    BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. INTERESTS

    ALONG THE UNITED STATES GULF COAST SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF

    THIS LOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HEAVY RAINS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING

    ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE YUCATAN PENINSULA...WESTERN CUBA...AND

    SOUTHERN FLORIDA OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

    ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE

    NEXT 48 HOURS.
