Re: October in the tropics

As a tiny aside,

Marco might be the smallest tropical cyclone ever recorded.
Here's what Stewart even had to say about it in the 11PM Discussion:
Quote:

MINIATURE MARCO HAS MAINTAINED ONE SMALL COLD-TOPPED THUNDERSTORM
CLUSTER...ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE...OVER THE
LOW-LEVEL CENTER...

I HAVE WORKED SOME TINY TYPHOONS IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC
BEFORE...BUT HORIZONTALLY-CHALLENGED MARCO COULD BE THE SMALLEST
TROPICAL CYCLONE ON RECORD.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
