Look for Atlantic tropical activity to significantly pick up after this MJO event passes ~60W around Aug 20, which is when climatological activity also begins peaking.

Doesn't mean we won't get more storms before Aug 20 - but there may be a reasonable lid on activity until then. pic.twitter.com/KrVuH6All6
