Tropical Cyclones Everywhere! Don't They Ever Rest?

Oh, this is a surprise! Even as late-autumn Hurricane Tomas prepares to make life miserable in the northern Caribbean, there is a similar, early-spring southern hemisphere storm - Tropical Cyclone Anggrek - whirling away in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It's unusual when both hemispheres get tropical storms at the same time.

It's likely that La Niña is to blame. La Niña makes those equatorial waters southwest of Sumatra bathtub hot!
