You may have noticed most of the tropical activity this season has been “close to home” in the NW Atlantic / SE coast. That’s because this season the relative warmest water is there (deep red=record), not in the main development region. Thus, for now the focus remains close to the SE US coast.

Visited a very special friend today! Possibly a once in a generation exhibition in Chantilly, showcasing the recent restoration of the most magnificent medieval Book of Hours.
