Mediterranean Tropical Cyclones
"These systems are a subject of some debate within meteorological circles whether they closely fit the definition of tropical cyclones, subtropical cyclones, or polar lows".. This common sentence is incorrect, is wrong.. they are Not polar lows. That the Mediterranean Tropical Cyclone is ugual Karl'80, Vince'05 or Grace'05. Not be a doubt. Many Mediterranean tropical like Cyclones occured over sea surface (18-27°C) most warm Karl'80, Vince'05 or Grace'05 (24-17°C). They can be intensity of tropical depresssion, tropical storm or (very rare)hurricane, but they cause flooding, damage and fatalties. It obvious that these small tropical cyclones they are occured for tropical transition. (K.Emanuel: cutoff cold low is an ideal embryo in which a Mediterranean tropical cyclone can be produced). ''Tropical transition refers to the dynamic and thermodynamic transformation of disturbances of sub-tropical or extratropical origin into tropical cyclones. This is often synonymous with a transition from a cold-core cyclone to a warm-core cyclone ''. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.60.130.77 (talk) 15:32, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Map?
This page almost begs for a map. I don't have the skill for it, but I'm sure that there are others who might be able to whip one up. --Donovan Ravenhull 00:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

South Pacifi c
This is in response to the entry on my talk page. JTWC may have done a study on the southern pacific over the years. I'd search there, since it looks like you've already used BoM for Australia.Thegreatdr 16:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Exact #1 average typhoon alley target area
"The coast of China sees the most landfalling tropical cyclones worldwide": can one perhaps refine this ... to say if indeed Taiwan is #1. Jidanni 14:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Northwestern Pacific
Should there be a separate article on Northwestern Pacific tropical cyclones (typhoons), like there is for Atlantic and Pacific Hurricanes? It is the most active region, after all. I was looking for information specific to that region earlier, and couldn't find it in any article on its own. I would start one myself, but wouldn't be able to create anything more than a very brief stub. EricDerKonig 206.154.229.139 19:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, only "6 typhoons per year" hitting the Philippines?
"The coast of China sees the most landfalling tropical cyclones worldwide. The Philippines archipelago receives an average of 6-7 tropical cyclone landfalls per year". Can anyone elaborate about this, please? Well, this statement is referenced alright, but seriously the Philippines gets only 6 cyclones on average per year? That statement seems to be underrated and is next to impossible. In fact, we'd be the luckiest people on earth if we ever have an average of all landfalling cyclones that small. I'll edit this one as soon as I get hold on a reliable source. --Rex 1213 (talk) 12:03, 10 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Its acctully 8-9 cyclones per year that make landfall according to - PAGASA. If you think about the number it does make sense since you have several veer away from the phillipines. Jason Rees (talk) 17:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh I see.. Thanks.. I was thinking about the total number of tropical cyclones that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility without even thinking that most of them don't really make a direct contact to land or landfall. Now that makes sense. --Rex 1213 (talk) 12:03, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Mediterranean tropical cyclone
In case anyone was wondering, I userfied the aforementioned article to User:Syntheticalconnections/Mediterranean tropical cyclone (who requested to keep it), but I merged the useful content to this article. The article was mostly original research, and not very encyclopediac. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:34, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Just a note in the event of a future article is created - SSD has issued Dvorak classifications for the first time ever on a system in the Mediterranean. In addition, it has been listed on NRL as 99L. Also, here is a news story describing it producing rainfall. They called it a "depression". --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:43, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * And we... officially... have a Mediterranean storm? - they list it as 01M. Should we bring back the article on Medit. tropical cyclones, or have an article on this actual storm? --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk )  18:47, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Let's start from scratch again on the Medit - no OR. If this storm happens to become reported/impacts, let's have an article on it too. I've created a draft here; I want more on their origin than individual cyclones.  HurricaneFan 25  19:04, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * ATM we only have 1 SAB bull calling Rolf Tropical right?.Jason Rees (talk) 19:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * FU Berlin classifies it as a tropical system. BTW, I'm working on a draft here.  HurricaneFan 25  19:54, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

With all of the new refs that have been added to User:Atomic7732/Mediterranean tropical cyclone, can we restore this article, and with its contents? 72.197.249.141 (talk) 23:10, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * So, can I take that as a yes? 72.197.249.141 (talk) 23:40, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Feel free to, but IMO that version isn't written very well (no offense). I have a sandbox for the article in my userspace, but I don't feel like working on it at the moment.  HF 25  00:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Added the longitude demarkates the basin boundary between Australia and South Indian basins
This seems like an odd question, since it should be stated within this good article (grumble). The map shows 90E...and I'm hearing 80E from others in the project. Which is correct? If 80E is correct, it needs to be stated in this article with a reference and the map needs to be fixed. If it is dependent upon the year you are discussing, that should also be included. Used reference from Supportstorm's talk page to fix this item. =) Thegreatdr (talk) 21:02, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Adding the Southeast Pacific
Should we add the southeast Pacific as its own basin? Its distinct from the Western South Pacific, and it has been known to spawn tropical or subtropical cyclones on occasion, such as "Katie" in 2015 and a recent unnamed storm. If not, then perhaps we could add a section under the South Pacific to include southeast Pacific cyclones. Cooper 14:07, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Both systems were formally unnamed but were unofficially named Katie and Lexi but anyway I dont think we should add it as its own basin but just expand the South Pacific section out to include the whole of the SPAC including the Aus region. This is because I do not see the dynamics of the SEPAC as any different from the SWPAC and would lead to questions as to where the SEPAC starte,d. 180? The Dateline? 140W? 120W?.Jason Rees (talk) 14:46, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
