Are you talking about the mean number of TS forecast or the upper range (because of the ranges that are typically issued)?

It appears that the bulk of us agree (my vote) that 16-18 is in the 'ballpark'. That said, the last 3 years require any preseason predicitions to be taken with the provebial 'grain of salt'. It is after all, a very problematic forecast at this stage of the game. Nice poll cycloneye. Very interseting responses.

16-18 I'm going with, With it being middle of may but I do belive they will change it as normal throught the season. Agree, this is going to be active season but wether it's active as in katrina, wilma or invests and td's well have to wait and see.

They can't upgrade as this will be their first outlook for the 2006 season. :)
