Background

Inspired by flasteph´s great Hurricane Market I had to create my own. In 2010 there were 3 cat 1, 4 cat 2, 1 cat 3 and 4 cat 4 hurricanes - Irene supplies the picture of the first cat 2 of 2011.

Irene August 20 – ???

The market asks for the second hurricane category 2 and above. There are Markets for 3+ and 4+ categories, too.

From wikipedia:
'Decrease in wind shear from July to August produces a significant increase of tropical activity.[23] An average of 2.8 tropical storms develop annually in August. On average, four named systems and one hurricane occur by August 30, and by September 4, the Atlantic ocean has spawned its first major hurricane.[6]'
