MY SPECIAL MESSAGES (WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 5 2025 10:40 AM EDT)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​

• I previously expanded my pause on daily updates to the Atlantic tropics on this site as the hurricane season became unseasonably calm for mid-September. Tropical activity became elevated from late September through the end of October, and has returned to a quiet state in the wake of Hurricane Melissa:​​​​

  • The southeast half of Hurricane Melissa passed over Bermuda on October 31, after which time the hurricane and large frontal low from the eastern US merged over Atlantic Canada on November 1 to bring a large area of coastal surf and gusty winds. 

  • Will soon be returning to daily updates on the Atlantic tropics on this site upon release of a special update package reviewing Atlantic tropical activity over the last several days, which will include forecasts on currently active systems at the time of its release. In the meantime refer to the National Hurricane Center (hurricanes.gov) for up to the minute latest information on Atlantic tropical activity.

• ​​​​As the author of infohurricanes.com, I have also been monitoring the progress of the worldwide progress of the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 page has not been updated over the last several months. The COVID-19 page will be updated with a final report on how the virus progressed over last few years.
