No Srain... I really have taken it on board. In my naivety I genuinely did not realise that the primary focus of this site (TC wise) was primarily on extreme events and financial gain.

I see you do not understand things very well at all around here. Perhaps you would be happier with other venues that offer discussions more of your liking. See ya, mate...

If that is a threat Srain (please read what was written by PSU and in regard to Josh... it's quite clear from Psu's missive that financial and personal reward are a priority for members) ... please show me where in your constitution I have actually done anything wrong... If there is any punishment to be meted out I would also ask the same standards be administered in regard to all offending members... including moderators.

PS: If I am getting punted for pointing out the obvious then my final request is that Psu changes his EC Avatar of Yasi... if he wasn't there, he doesn't deserve it... if he was, he does.

Utterly bizarre.

Are you insane or are you drinking?

For the thousand time: anyone in this thread is welcome to post about what they like, as long as it has to do with S-Hemisphere tropical cyclones. If you want to post about Daphne or the Fiji flooding, go ahead. Just stop trying to decide what others should post about.

That's it.

I've been incredibly dumb in thinking there was an element of altruism, and with what comes with that.... general discussion on events that do not necessarily benefit members, either intellectually or financially.... and I apologise for that.
I now... very clearly... get it.

You were completely incorrect to think there's an element of altruism in this thread. There is zero altruism, nor has there ever been any suggestion of that. We are here discussing what's interesting to us personally. That is it.

You completely misunderstand the purpose of this thread.

Is it really that difficult to understand that people are free to discuss whatever is related southern hemisphere tropical cyclones they want to...or not... in this thread?

Not to belabor the point... but it's very weird. No one was preventing him from discussing the Fiji system-- he was completely welcome to post about it-- but he seemed to be angry that none of the rest of us were interested in it.

I post all the time in this thread Re: things that no one else cares about. Imagine if I scolded everyone for not responding to my posts? I'd walk around pretty pissed all the time.

Just... weird.

Moving on... I think we're just about done with the S Hemisphere for this year.

You're in trouble. Again.

[am19psu]

Wow, we haven't posted in this thread since April 2. It's been a boring month in the tropics. The TC-less streak was broken last night (EDT) as TC 19 formed over Micronesia.



JTWC is a bit more aggressive than I am, but whatever, at least there is a storm.

G’day strangers

Sorry ive been absent of late, and neglectful in the Aussie TC comp duties. I've just been waiting for this last lil storm to do its thing before announcing any winners. Cough cough, bull!#*$. If my memory serves me correct, this late one wont have a bearing on the results due to dates... Yeh I am a slacker, apologies. I shall make a post soon and get some postal details off of some people sometime soon/this week.

Nice lil surprise, well somewhat of a surprise, this one has been. GFS has been progging a late end to the wet during late April/May for the Top End. I wanted to believe it, but was somewhat sceptical. After last weeks storms and widespread 25-100mm, and this weeks low, im impressed!

Today definitely saw a turn in the weather here in Darwin. Overcast with loads of mid level junk and instability after a solid line of storms between Darwin and the Tiwi Islands this morning. Some CU managed to precip mid afternoon before mixing out. Will be interesting to watch the sky and sat images tomorrow. I don’t think it will cross anywhere near Darwin if it does manage to spin up, but im hoping it/the low will come close enough to give us some rain before the dry season properly kicks in. 4-5 months of blue sky and fires = depression! I need a kick to get me through...

JTWC are back in the game, seems the diurnal flare up last night grabbed their attention. I cant remember such an up and down forecast for a system in the space of 24 hours...

B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
(1) AN AREA OF CONVECTION (REMNANTS OF TC 19S) HAS PERSISTED
NEAR 9.1S 129.2E, APPROXIMATELY 220 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF DARWIN,
AUSTRALIA. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS FLARING
CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS, WITH AN EXPOSED LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) OBSERVED BETWEEN CONVECTIVE CYCLES. A
080715Z SSMI IMAGE DEPICTS FRAGMENTED WEAK BANDING, WITH THE DEEPEST
CONVECTION ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE LLCC. A 080316Z OSCAT
PASS SHOWS AN ELONGATED AREA OF SHARP TROUGHING STRETCHING ALONG THE
8S LATITUDE LINE, WITH MAXIMUM WIND SPEEDS OF 30-35 KNOTS NEAR 129E
LONGITUDE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THIS AREA IS JUST
EQUATORWARD OF A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE AXIS, WITH APPROXIMATELY 15-
20 KTS OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). AS THE RECENT MOVEMENT HAS HAD
A MORE SOUTHERLY COMPONENT (TOWARDS THE RIDGE AXIS), THE VWS HAS
RELAXED SLIGHTLY AND MAY CONTINUE TO DO SO IF THIS MOTION PERSISTS.
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT REGENERATION OF TC 19S IS
POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY IF THE SOUTHWARD MOTION CONTINUES. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1002 MB. DUE TO THE CURRENT
MOTION AND RELAXING SHEAR, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS MEDIUM.

Well, there you are. I was concerned.
