Bem, como não havia deixado de ser a previsão aponta para uma época mais intensa que a anterior (tb não era dificil mesmo sendo probabilistico ) Fiaca aqui a primeira grande abordagem (ler com calma), eu acho que vai ser uma época tipo 2005 não no nº de tempestades mas mais ao nível da localização geográfica do caminho como no nascimento a latitudes a N, acho que vão ser mais do que 14 tempestades nomeadas.... a ver vamos Vai haver muito ACE e o SAL vai ser menos intenso e mais a Sul de Cabo Verde. Previsão estatística e probabilística da Colorado State University - Philip J. Klotzbach and William M. Gray http://typhoon.atmos.colostate.edu/Forecasts/2006/dec2006/ mais aqui http://hurricane.atmos.colostate.edu/Forecasts/ acho estes profissionai melhores do que os do NHC, mas é uma opinião
Está cheio de força ventos com cerca de 160 km/h http://journals.aol.co.uk/pharmolo/...007/02/20/hurricane-update---20-february/3815

Os dois ciclones que se encontram no Indico estão muito próximos um do outro e devido à influência exercida pelo George sobre o Jacob, torna-se difícil prever uma trajectória para este último.
