This is just amazing :eek:

Vince only 100miles southsoutheast of Portugal is just 5km's
short of becoming a Hurricane!!

It looks so darn beautiful on the satellite!

Its a tiny tight circulation!

Possibly one of the most amazing satellite features i have seen
in my life!!

Another couple of records smashed!!

It's just so beautiful :eek:

It might not be there for long but PLEASE take a look at this

Mind your jaw hitting the ground!!

billy the squid · 09-10-2005 8:37pm

can you link me to where you got that figure of it being 5 km/s shy of hurricane status weather check.

ninebeanrows · 09-10-2005 8:38pm

Billy i wonder could you make a more striking Title as i really
want people to see this..

This is numerous weather records being smashed as i speak :eek:

Im hearing that Hurricane Status has been confirmed

:eek:

Yea i think it all came up quite suddenly although there was
some activity being watched in this area over the last few days

billy the squid · 09-10-2005 8:48pm

actually it done the same thing that Tammy did, turned from non-tropical to tropical. the NHC don't issue advisories for non tropical depressions. so once it started developing tropical storm status they skipped the TD 23 title and went straight for Tropical Storm Vince.

ninebeanrows · 09-10-2005 8:48pm

It has now been confirmed wait im really really overwhelmed :eek:

There is a Hurricane a real Official Hurricane in EUROPE!!

billy the squid · 09-10-2005 8:54pm

the title has changed on the NHC site but the advisory has not. I wonder will they follow it or will they just suddenly stop following it when it leaves their normal coverage area

maquiladora · 09-10-2005 8:55pm

Wow.
What a season this has been, weve seen just about everything.

Scubadevils · 09-10-2005 9:00pm

If its headed ne does that mean its heading somewhat in our direction? :eek:

billy the squid · 09-10-2005 9:47pm

I would believe that it will dissappear as quickly as it appeared. if it does manage to make landfall anywhere it will most likely be portugal.

The location of where it formed is probably the most interesting aspect of this storm though.

*googles radio kerry webstream for next hurricane season*

radiospan · 09-10-2005 9:55pm

When was the last hurricane in Europe?

billy the squid · 10-10-2005 12:38pm

Vince to be obsorbed into another system and likely to make an interesting few days for the east coast of ireland.

billy the squid · 10-10-2005 3:00pm

Vince dissapating almost as quickly as it formed.

one thing that I did notice though, with a hurricane off the coast of the iberian peninsula, you would have thought that they would ahve issued at least one advisory in espaniol.

billy the squid · 11-10-2005 2:56am

Vince has strengthened slightly, landfall as a tropical storm is a possibility

INTERESTS IN AND NEAR EXTREME SOUTHERN PORTUGAL... SOUTHWESTERN
SPAIN... AND EXTREME NORTHWESTERN MOROCCO SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR
THE PROGRESS OF VINCE THROUGH TUESDAY.

FOR STORM INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...INCLUDING POSSIBLE
INLAND WATCHES AND WARNINGS...PLEASE MONITOR PRODUCTS ISSUED

If you load this animation ,It will show you what happened,the race into Gibralter and the merger with growing thunderstorms from morocco and elswhere in portugal and spain.

The eye didnt last long but I'd imagine there was a very welcome deluge in the parched south of spain

Very fast moving in the end and the first ever tropical storm/ex hurricane to move into spain.
