2025 Hurricane Season

[TomK]

@TomK - Do I feel silly for telling you to do your own homework? Not at all, as it's clearly needed, even still.

What does that even mean?

The storm did maintain hurricane strength just beyond longitude 150,  so it would have been bad news for us if not for the upper level trough steering it northward. 
Without that effect, Kiko could have hit us as a weak hurricane or strong tropical storm, despite the cooler water temperatures near the islands.
Not enough rain! Perhaps more will be coming.

But that analysis assumes the storm wouldn't have changed its intensity if it had taken a different track.
