2015-16 Arctic Cyclone Season

'''This will be a holiday-themed season similar to Steve's "2013-14 North Pole Hurricane Season". However, since Steve is gone, I have decided to do one this year. This will be an as-it-unfolds season with frequent updates coming to this page between now and the week after Christmas.'''

The 2015-16 Arctic Cyclone Season is an upcoming event in the Arctic Ocean basin. The season will begin on November 1 and end on January 7, dates that typically delimit the start and beginning of the season. However, storm formation can also occur outside of the designated dates. The most common time for storms to form though is from mid-to-late December.
