Talk about going out not with a bang but a whimper! William M. Gray of the Colorado State University Tropical Meteorology Project, the dean of long-range hurricane forecasts, is retiring from that field to concentrate on the issues of climate change and global warming. His timing may be perfect. Gray made his first seasonal forecast in 1984. Five of the 10 busiest years – in number of hurricanes since records began in 1851 – took place while Gray was on watch, including the record-busting 2005 season that featured 15 hurricanes and the infamous Katrina. No less than 11 of the 15 busiest seasons in terms of named storms took place during Gray's tenure, led once again by 2005 with an incredible 28. (The runner up, 1933, had 20.) No wonder the press and the public eagerly awaited Gray's annual forecasts.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_Hurricane_Fran_sept_1996.jpg
