2017 Alolan Islands Cyclone Season

The 2017 Alolan Islands Cyclone Season is a currently running season in the Alolan Island region. This season delimits the period of Cyclone formation. While a storm can form any time of the year, the season generally runs from February 1 to November 30, with July being the peak of activity. Off season activity is quite frequent, and can occur at any time. This season was originally forecast to be a slightly above average season, with 16-18 named storms. However, on January 20, the Anticyclone that usually inhibits development significantly weakened, and forecasts now bring the season activity to about twice that of a normal season.
