Everyone agreed that this year we should see an above active season for cyclone development in the eastern North Pacific basin.
But back in June I added one more interesting element to this equation. The female-named storms for this year will be collectively stronger than the male-named storms. Listed below are the storms that have formed this season along with the category level they reached and the maximum sustained winds they produced.
By mid-August we only had three cyclones form thus far in the North Atlantic, two tropical storms and one tropical depression.
I started to get the feeling that for the Atlantic the opposite was to take place; male-named storms will be stronger than the female-named ones. The Pacific females need male counterparts which will come from the Atlantic basin. Listed below are the male- and female-named storms of the 2014 tropical cyclone season for the North Atlantic along with their wind scale and maximum sustained wind numbers.
