5 years ago today:
Hurricane season was likely over this year before November, but that's not always the case... Iota was the 30th and strongest named storm of the 2020 season. It was an upper-end Category 4 hurricane (operationally it was a Category 5, but downgraded in the post-season reanalysis).

I thought that too, but the Azores High has been pretty "average" over the past 3 months, both in position and pressure.

Slow-moving Hurricane #Melissa managed to cool the extremely-anomalously-warm central Caribbean Sea down to right around average for the date. Instead of a "cold wake", would that be an "average wake"? 😉
