Is there an analog for upcoming Autumns and Winters when the Summers are wet?

Any typhoons recurving in the Pacific?

It would really take for a highly anomalous pattern to give us another BN month but any BN weather like this past August are just bumps in the road in an otherwise torch like state.

We were very fortunate to not get these record months during the summer but it's coming.

Can you point out a three-month stretch within the past century that was, at all, normal or below normal?

Somebody give these recon pilots medals. They've done a terrific job flying into and giving us valuable data of two Category 5's and a Category 4 hurricane.

Maria is on a track running slightly north of that taken by the Great Hurricane of October 1780 which ran from just north of Barbados (on Oct 9) across St Lucia and Martinique then northwest to the Mona Passage west of Puerto Rico. That storm killed over twenty thousand people and from the damage reports must have been a cat-5 when north of Barbados. This storm apparently tracked north-northeast after leaving Hispaniola and missed Bermuda slightly to the southeast.

Another interesting factoid is that there had been two previous major hurricanes (three counting one in June), one of which hit New Orleans on August 24 and the other hitting Cuba and the Bahamas about a week before the Great Hurricane. And there was to be yet another major hurricane in the eastern Gulf of Mexico ten days later.

A Cat 5 in October??
