    Could be a strong category 2 before it weakens and turns, but does he have a chance of becoming a major?

    Projected path currently puts this slightly more north today:

    Not bad for a mid Atlantic hurricane during late October / November... perhaps it could briefly become a major later on today?

    Doing wonders for the seasonal ACE total too. Matthew left us already above average and we should take 2011 soon. Only 2010, 2012, 2016 and 2017 are more active this decade.

    Yeah a bit of an unusual season this year as well considering we have an El Nino event building up. The stronger this hurricane becomes, the more likely that it will track to the North of the UK.

    Bear in mind however that the atmosphere has been somewhat neutral for large periods. We saw very little oceanic signalling in July and August (indeed weeklies went backwards).

    That is true, the El Nino has been a bit sluggish this year to get going, similar to the 2004 and 1969 hurricane seasons.

    If this El Nino is quick to pass (i.e declines during next Spring) then you have to wonder whether 2019 could yet be another active hurricane season... especially if a La Nina decides to form but that is still some time way.

    If we can get a multi-year Nina then i'd look towards a very active season in 2020 as the QBO will be negative that season too (Nina plus -QBO seems the best combination).
