Talk:Subtropical Storm Alpha (2020)

Eventual title
There have been 2 sub-tropical storms named Alpha, one in 1972 and the one currently battering Portugal. Assuming it is ready to be moved to the main encyclopedia, I recommend moving this draft to Subtropical Storm Alpha (2020) and leave as a redirect to the disambiguation page Tropical Storm Alpha. Note that the disambiguation page also covers Subtropical Storm Alfa from 1975. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  20:40, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Did Alpha briefly become tropical?
I’ve been wondering, probably not though. Dougworld99 (talk) 01:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you have a reliable source indicating that it did become fully tropical? TornadoLGS (talk) 01:37, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

No, just asking. Dougworld99 (talk) 02:32, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Without a source, there is no rationale for mentioning the possibility of this being a tropical storm, and talk pages are not a forum to discuss meteorology. TornadoLGS (talk) 18:10, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * For the record, the Alpha TCR mentions nothing about it becoming fully tropical during its lifetime. Drdpw (talk) 21:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Alpha
Alpha was upgraded to 60kt on Feb 2021 TalephG (talk) 21:13, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The 60kt wind speed occurred while the system was still extratropical. Its peak wind speed while a subtropical system was 45kt. Drdpw (talk) 21:28, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

1941 cyclone
There was a famous cyclone in the history of our country which was incredibly destructive, but there is no english version for this article. I'm not a climate scientist. I have no idea what a subtropical storm is and how it differs from a winter cyclone. Should this one be mentioned? https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciclone_de_1941 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8A0:70D2:6C00:6DD3:54E6:690D:821C (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No. That was an extratropical cyclone, while records of this storm pertain to subtropical and tropical cyclones. TornadoLGS (talk) 21:12, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
