2019 Planet Puppy hurricane season

The 2019 Planet Puppy hurricane season is a current event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form on Planet Puppy. The season runs throughout 2019, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between June and December.

The first storm to form was Tropical Storm Aiden which formed on January 14, 2019.

The Planet Puppy hurricane basin is strikingly similar (and identical) to the Atlantic Ocean basin on Planet Earth. The locations of the areas have names that are also similar to those on Earth.

Current Storm Information

An area of low pressure consisting shower and thunderstorm activity is located between Central Doglandia and Collarbia. Environmental conditions are conducive for tropical cyclone development and this system is expected to move northward and drop rain over areas such as Pupsas, Loudoggiana, and Floridog. ~ FORECASTER LUCAS

Seasonal Forecasts
On December 31, 2018, the Puppy Hurricane Center issued its prediction for the 2019 season. It called for 47-53 named storms, 26-31 hurricanes, and 17-21 major hurricanes. That same day, the Hurricane Lucas Meteorological Agency issued a prediction of 49-55 named storms, 29-34 hurricanes, and 16-20 major hurricanes. On April 10, 2019, the Puppy Hurricane Center issued its spring forecasts for the 2019 season and predicted a total much lower than their prediction in the winter. They predicted 45-51 named storms, 23-28 hurricanes, and 13-17 major hurricanes. On April 11, 2019, the Nclear Weather Monitoring Center issued its forecast for the season. They called for 48-51 named storms, 40-43 hurricanes, and 12-14 major hurricanes. April 26 saw the NCWMC issue its second forecast, slightly decreasing the amount of activity for the season. However this was only the case for the minimum storms, as Named storms was bumped to 52, Hurricanes were bumped to 45, and the majors were bumped to 17, with no minimum or maximum this time.

System Names
Retired names, if any, will be announced by the Puppy Hurricane Center (PHC) in late 2019; though replacement names will be announced in 2020.

Auxiliary
This is the first auxiliary list with names alternating with boy and girl names. All the girl names are the same with the exceptions of Jessica, Paige, and Tracy, which replaced Jean, Pam, and Tiffany. After the Auxiliary list is exhausted, Greek names are used. Hypothetically, after the Greek list is exhausted, it would use a Hebrew list.

Retirement
The 3rd Puppy Hurricane Committee is expected to last from December 27, 2019 - January 1, 2020. The Puppy Hurricane Center issued a date of December 27, 2019 to retire the names for this season and a date of January 1, 2020 to replace those names.

So far, the names Brooke, Erik, Gerard, and Ivan have been requested for retirement by various countries on Planet Puppy. The PHC will OFFICIALLY retire names on December 27. REPLACE NAMES HERE.
