According to research by Margie Kieper as reported by Dr. Jeff Masters in Wunderground:

Quote:

July 19, 2008, marked the first time on record that three July tropical storms were active on the same day in the Atlantic. Bertha, Cristobal, and Dolly were all tropical storms yesterday. Thanks to Margie Kieper for checking on this stat for me.



In the interest of accuracy, on this I do need to point out 2 small disclaimers

First - I am guessing that Dr. Masters meant to type July 20, 2008, as on July 19, 2008 now Tropical Storm Dolly had yet to be a numbered tropical depression, let alone named storm.

Second - Bertha was barely hanging on to enough tropical characteristics on the morning of July (20) for the National Hurricane Center to continue advisories on her as a tropical cyclone.

However, disclaimers-aside, the rest of these numbers seem solid. With the inclusion of Dolly, Cristobal and still-tropical cyclone Bertha, July (20) 2008 probably marked the first July day since record keeping began that three July tropical storms were active on the same date. A mighty impressive feat for this season, and surely yet another in the now long list of feathers in Bertha's cap!
