TROPICAL CYCLONE MONTHLY SUMMARY
JULY 2145
LIVERPOOL ENGLAND MET SERVICE HURRICANE PREDICTION CENTRE, OREAN
3 PM HPT AUG 1 2145
UPDATED 3 AM HPT JUL 23 2145
JULY WAS RELATIVELY QUIET UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH... WHEN WE SAW A TOTAL OF
FOUR TROPICAL OR SUBTROPICAL CYCLONES IN A LITTLE OVER A WEEK. TWO TROPICAL
DEPRESSIONS... AND TWO NAMED STORMS - ONE SUBTROPICAL - FORMED. THE MONTHLY
EXTRAPOLATED AVERAGE FOR JULY IS FIVE... SO THIS WAS STILL A BELOW-AVERAGE
MONTH.
THE FIRST TROPICAL CYCLONE OF THE MONTH WAS TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIXTEEN (4516)...
WAS DECLARED A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AT 5 PM HPT ON JULY 22 AFTER AN AFLE RECON
PLANE FOUND EVIDENCE OF A CLOSED CIRCULATION. THE SYSTEM WAS INITIATED AT 25 KT
BASED ON THE REPORT FROM THE AIRCRAFT. DUE TO PROXIMITY TO THE ITCZ... NO SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT OCCURRED. A NEARBY TUTT... TROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH... IMPARTED
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SHEAR ONTO THE CYCLONE... AND THE FINAL ADVISORY WAS ISSUED
AT 9 AM HPT JULY 23 WHEN RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT REPORTED THAT THE SYSTEM HAD
DEGENERATED INTO AN OPEN TROPICAL WAVE.
A MIDGET SYSTEM WAS SPOTTED NEAR MAGNA CARTA, POPULARFREEDOM ABOUT A WEEK AFTER
THE DISSIPATION OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIXTEEN. HOWEVER... BEFORE ANY NUMBERED
WARNINGS COULD BE ISSUED... THE SYSTEM MADE LANDFALL. SHORTLY AFTER, QUIKSCAT
CONFIRMED A REFORMED CENTRE OF CIRCULATION OFF THE COAST, AND ADVISORIES WERE
INITIATED ON TROPICAL DEPRESSION SEVENTEEN (4517) AT 9 PM HPT JULY 28. A TROPICAL
CYCLONE UPDATE WAS ISSUED THREE HOURS LATER TO PUT TROPICAL STORM WATCHES AND
WARNINGS INTO EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN POPULARFREEDOM COAST. IT STRENGTHENED
INTO A TROPICAL STORM AT THE NEXT ADVISORY AND WAS NAMED BRENT WITH THE SECOND NAME
FROM THE OLD LISTS. BECAUSE OF ITS MIDGET SIZE... THE FORECAST CALLED FOR HURRICANE
INTENSITY. HOWEVER... IT MADE LANDFALL AT ABOUT 0817 HPT JULY 29. THE LOW SOON
DECOUPLED FROM CONVECTION... AND A FINAL ADVISORY WAS ISSUED AT 3 AM HPT JULY 30.
BRENT CAUSED HALF A BILLION LIVERPOOL POUNDS WORTH OF DAMAGE FROM FLOODING... BUT
NO CASUALTIES WERE REPORTED.
SUBTROPICAL STORM CASSANDRA WAS NAMED ON JULY 30 WHILE EAST OF THE OLD BORDER BETWEEN
LIVERPOOL ENGLAND AND THE FORMER UPPER BISWALD. QUIKSCAT INDICATED 40 KT WINDS AND
SHIP REPORTS INDICATED 50-KT WINDS... SO INITIAL INTENSITY WAS 45 KT. THE STORM
INTENSIFIED INTO A 65-KT SUBTROPICAL STORM... HURRICANE INTENSITY... BUT RETAINED
SOME NON-TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND HENCE WAS NOT UPGRADED TO A HURRICANE... ALTHOUGH
THIS IS THE CURRENT FOCAL POINT OF POST-STORM ANALYSIS. IT LOST TROPICALITY AT 3 PM
HPT JULY 30 AND A FINAL ADVISORY WAS ISSUED WITH THE SYSTEM NEVER HAVING AFFECTED LAND.
THE FINAL SYSTEM OF THE MONTH... TROPICAL DEPRESSION NINETEEN... FORMED FROM THE
REMNANT CIRCULATION OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION BRENT. IN STRONG SHEAR... IT NEVER REALLY
HAD A CHANCE... AND DISSIPATED WITHIN A DAY OF ITS FORMATION.
