Those who want to post a specific date you can do so.
I will say that in november 17th the last storm will form.

Hopefully he wouldn't mind. There are already a lot of predictions for the first storm of the season, so why not post a guess for the last storm?

Sounds like a good idea to me. If I have time, I'll have to develop a similar chronological analysis for 'last storms' of the season.
Cheers,
ED

Obviously El Nino would affect the development of storms. The latest forecast calls for neutral conditions to continue until August, with considerable uncertainty after August. Does anyone believe that El Nino will develop later in the year? Obviously this would have a big effect on when our last named system forms.

There is generally a three month lag between the onset of an El Nino (or La Nina) event and its influence on Atlantic basin systems. So even if an El Nino were to appear in September, the Atlantic would not be influenced by it until December or perhaps even January of the following year. When it comes to change, the oceans are conservative, i.e., nothing happens rapidly. It takes the atmospheric patterns about three months to become influenced by the ocean pattern changes. I think that will remain essentially neutral until at least October, which would mean no influence at all on this tropical season. Now, armed with that (somewhat precarious) knowledge, its your turn to bit the bullet and make a forecast fpr the date of the naming of the last storm of the season - and believe me, there is about 'zero' science and 100percent luck (if you should happen to hit the date) in doing that. I'm still working on that 'last storm' analysis that I promised earlier.
Cheers,
ED

Can I get back to you with that guess in say, November?
Just kidding. Since I was "this close" with my first storm guess, I'll say Halloween for this year. We had no action to speak of in November last year, and then, BAM, Odette & Peter (and almost got to Rose). Would have been interesting if our last two storms were Peter & Rose (=Pete Rose).
Anyway, mark me down for 10/31, and since I'm guessing there'll be 14 named storms, then I guess that will be "Nicole".
Cheers,
LI Phil

Since I'm guessing we'll have fourteen named, I'll go with November 8th for the formation of Nicole.

As promised, here is a weekly statistical breakdown for the past 100 years of the last storm of the season. The format is the same. i.e., Week of the Season, Number (or percent) of years that the last storm occurred during that week, and a cumulative percentage. In a few rare years, the last storm of the season has occurred in the early part of the next year (January/February). It does happen, but these rare cases were not considered since they really did not add anything to the purpose of the analysis.
08/30 - 09/05: 1 'last storm' / 1 total
09/06 - 09/12: 1 / 2
09/13 - 09/19: 3 / 5
09/20 - 09/26: 5 / 10
09/27 - 10/03: 2 / 12
10/04 - 10/10: 9 / 21
10/11 - 10/17: 16 / 37
10/18 - 10/24: 15 / 52
10/25 - 10/31: 10 / 62
11/01 - 11/07: 10 / 72
11/08 - 11/14: 11 / 83
11/15 - 11/21: 6 / 89
11/22 - 11/28: 6 / 95
11/29 - 12/05: 0 / 95
12/06 - 12/12: 4 / 99
12/13 - 12/19: 0 / 99
12/20 - 12/26: 0 / 99
12/27 - 01/02: 1 / 100
Notes:
1930 had two storms for the season. The last one became a TS on 08/31.
1914 only had one storm - thus the first and the last storm of that season.
1954 - the second 'ALICE' of the season became a TS on 12/30 and remained a named storm through 01/06/55.
1993 and 2002 are recent examples of seasons that ended in September.
1984 and 2003 are recent examples of seasons that ended in December.
Don't know if any of this will really be of much help to you when it comes to deciding on when the last storm of this season will happen. Statistically the season ends between October 11th and October 24th.
My own SWAG for this year? - Well I'll pick November 11th
Cheers,
ED
