I went with 4. I think we will start at the very begining of August and one a week would not surprise me.

2004 had 7 form in August, as did 1995 and 1933 (with most of those after the 18th!!)

Thank you KWT. But dang, this season is well on its way to catch up with those numbers. We may even see the D storm before August. (ex 90L, if it develops) 8-)

So it looks like most people think we will have 4 named storms in August. I think that is a very reasonable prediction. Get ready to buckle up folks!

I am going with 5. It may be somewhat slow during the first half of August because of the MJO, but I expect the 2nd half of August to be extremely busy.

From a combination of sheer ignorance and fear I went with more than 5. But who was the brave soul who went for none? :eek:
