Hurricane. Chris has formed in the North Atlantic, just about 650 miles South East of Newfoundland, which is most unusual for an early season Hurricane.

It is also marked on the Wetterzentrale.de synoptic chart.

And the previous two tropical storms went the wrong way compared to
the general direction that these storms rotate around the north
atlantic.

How did you work that out?

They both took routes between the latitudes that define the east to
west or west to east overall course.

Or are you hinting that there is actually nothing to the Coriolis
cobblers after all?

On a positive side, quite often these features have an overall effect
on the jet stream and patterns, so maybe we be coming to an end of
this wet and cold weather at last. We shall see what materialises next
week.

Looking at the track plots maps on the above site, they end up going
in the right direction for that general area of the north atlantic ie
NE ish. But both start with SW'ly tracks and do quite sharp U turns,
petering out not that far from where they started.
