A Busy Northern Hemisphere: Five Named Systems in the Atlantic and Pacific

The “string of pearls” effect continued on Tuesday morning over the Northern Hemisphere, with an arc of tropical cyclones extending from south of Japan to east of the United States. According to Eric Blake (National Hurricane Center) and Phil Klotzbach (Colorado State University), this is the first year on record with so many named systems to date for the Atlantic, Central Pacific and Eastern Pacific combined: a total of 11 as of Monday, July 13, with the previous record of 10 occuring in 2012.
