What will Dr Grays first 2006 forecast numbers be?
He always start in the lower end of the numbers in his first outlooks in early december.
I say that he will have for his first 2006 outlook 13/7/3.
What do you think he will have for his first forecast?

Well, here's some data for y'all:
From 1950 through 2000, the average numbers for tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes, respectively, were 9.6/5.9/2.3.
From 1995 through 2005, minus the el Niño year of 1997, the numbers were 15.5/8.8/4.4, pending no further activity this year.
From the same time period, there were no less than 12 tropical storms in a given year, but no more than 24.
There were no less than 4 hurricanes, but no more than 13.
There were no less than 2 major hurricanes, but no more than 7.
So.... take that for what it's worth...

Do the maxes really have to be quoted? They're all 2005.

There is no reason not to quote the maxima. However, to blow your skirt up, the maxima, excluding 2005, would be 19, 11, and 6, respectively. (Not all that much differenence to 2005, except for named storms)
