Invitation to join the Tropical Cyclones WikiProject
I see that you're interested in the topic of tropical cyclones. You also seem to have some prior experience (I also used IPs for a few years before creating my account), and we could use more editors like you. I noticed your wish on your user page - all you have to do to join is to add your name to the membership list on the page linked above (in the template). Hope you enjoy your experience here!

Kajiki
Just a note, that Kajiki is still active and is being tracked by the JMA. Thanks :) Typhoon2013  (talk) 22:28, 6 September 2019 (UTC) Typhoon2013 22:28, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

North Indian Ocean
Please keep in mind that the regional specialized meteorological center, the Indian Meteorological Department, designates tropical depressions in the North Indian Ocean. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center does not override these designations. You will see the IMD designate TDs as either ARB (Arabian Sea), BOB (Bay of Bengal), or LAND (depressions forming overland). These designations are official and must remain on the article unless the storm reaches gale-force on three-minute sustained winds and is subsequently assigned a name by the IMD.

June 2020
Hello. I noticed that you added content in an article, Timeline of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I just amended your edits instead of completely removing them, but you can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. In the future, if you edit this article with timely updates, please use and cite the public advisories from NHC. If you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page. Thanks.

Draft:Typhoons in the Ryukyu Islands
Hey there, thanks for adding some of the storms to the draft! If we want to finish the article, we'll eventually have to start adding some sources in too. There's lots of info from Digital typhoon going back to like 1950. I don't think the rest of Japan should be split up (so no list just for Hokkaido or Shikoku, IMO), but the Ryukyus are geographically distinct enough to support its own list. I think it could be a good list when all is said and done. The list will take a while to finish up, so I suggest reaching out to other editors for help finishing :) Cheers! ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:00, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

May I Have Your Assistance
Hello. I'm the editor that's been responsible for most (60-70%, metric depending) of the August 2020 Midwest derecho article. I see you're a very active editor in weather-related WikiProjects. I would like your assistance in improving the article. I would like to make it B or GA and I've done a lot toward that end, including filing a PR request However evaluating that criteria would be more suitable for an experienced editor in that vein. So I would like to ask, will you evaluate the article for me and/or possibly assist me in improving it?  Gwen Hope  (talk) (contrib) 13:54, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I won’t be able to help in the Severe weather articles, as I’m too busy tracking and updating the current situation in the tropics. I might be able to help when Hurricane season is over.  David The Meteorologist Talk 08:44, 10 September 2020 (EDT)

This edit
- mind adding a source? These old storms don't always have the most reliable sources. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:45, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

JTWC Archives
Hi David! I noticed that you mentioned "JTWC Archives" in your edit summary at 2020 Pacific typhoon season, and that you couldn't find it. If ever you meant the archive that I made, you can find it at https://wiki.chlod.net/jtwc/. This contains all warnings (both graphics and text warnings) by date. Do note that this doesn't include JMA notices, so you might want to just archive the JMA website as well. If this wasn't what you were looking for, feel free to disregard this message. Thanks! Chlod (say hi!) 14:52, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

thank you
Thank you brother for opening my eyes Jupiter50 (talk) 19:49, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Goni
Just to note, the JTWC BT has already stated that Goni has winds of 120kts, therefore it is a cat4. An edit summary of a revert with a "NO" does not explain your edit reasonings. We have been following the BT trackfile for a while now. Kind regards, Typhoon2013  (talk) 20:46, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know, the JTWC has now officially upgraded Goni to a category 4 in their newest warning update. David The Meteorologist Talk 21:08, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Quinta and Rolly retirement
Do you have any source that our local names Quinta and Rolly was officially retired? I don't think that PAGASA officially announce those names already, except to Ambo. I live in the Philippines, but I don't read nor watch or heard any updates that Quinta and Rolly was now retired. Provide source first before you include those theories of yours. Hamham31 Heke!

Surigae's eye
Contrary to what you wrote here, not every eye of an intense tropical cyclone must necessarily be a pinhole, and Surigae's certainly is not. Please don't put words in JTWC's mouth. Grammatically, it also makes zero sense to "state" an eye.--Jasper Deng (talk) 13:17, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Your edit summary here is not correct either: Surigae (as of this writing) has an eye coexisting perfectly fine with the surrounding CDO.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:36, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * sorry, I thought that if there is an eye, there couldn’t be a Central Dense Overcast. I thought that in that case, a CDO would be an eyewall.

September 2021
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2019–20 South Pacific cyclone season into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. '' Just a procedural notice to make sure you're reminded of the policy, considering I've recently found a slightly problematic diff involving this. Nonetheless, just make sure to attribute properly next time. Thanks! '' Chlod (say hi!) 23:37, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah Talk 04:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
