Active Atlantic & Arabian sea

The global minimum in TCs has definitely ended, with Tropical Storm Barry forming in the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend and coming ashore in Florida on Sunday.
The remnants of Barry provided some well-needed rainfall over northern Florida, southern Georgia, and up the east coast (see drought monitor figure below),
with some locations exceeding 5" of rain. Also, Gonu is currently at Category 5 in the Arabian Sea, and it is expected to approach the coast of Oman in 48 hours and then perhaps recurve towards Iran/Pakistan.


Things are definitely getting active again!
