I wish there was a reference to this information (it might be worth checking out sites which contain SYNOP data such as Texas A&M.) Maybe you'll have better luck at the Nadi, Fiji website than I have. I have not been able to download their documents with flood images (the download is phenomenally snow)...I guessing it's the recent event, but since I can't download them, I don't know. FYI.

Problem with Cyclone Cliff
While working on the retired Australian names template, I found that there was a Cyclone Cliff retired in 1981. This means that both articles will have to have the year in the title. Can you make a disambiguation page for this name too? Cyclonebiskit (talk) 14:11, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

2009 Pacific typhoon season
Hallo Jason, at the moment I am trying to complete the German version of that article. As for the other basins than the Atlantic the tropical cyclones in the German WP are a one-man show I must most parts of these articles translate. However I did some coverage of Parma and Melor in the German Wikinews. This just for explaining. Now the issue. ;-)

The section about Parma is at the moment rather messy; it consists of one very long paragraph and another short one which doesn't appear on the right place chronically but is somewhat redundant as well. Since I saw that you are refurbishing the article would you mind if I try to rearrange this section and fill in some of my sources? --Matthiasb (talk) 07:48, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

User:Viennaiswaiting/Sandbox1
hellllllo there, i was wondering if you could help me a bit. i was working on an article for hurricane paine in 1986, but there's a problem. most of the impact is related to a larger flooding event, and the hurricane only tagged along at the end. i'm not really familiar with flooding articles, and i don't want to lose the emphasis on the hurricane, but there wasn't much impact directly from the hurricane. any suggestions? --Viennaiswaiting (talk) 21:32, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I encountered a similar dilemma with Tropical Storm Heidi (1971). Just include a summary of the flooding that took place and explain the hurricane's affiliation with it. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 21:39, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Can I ask what you meant when you said "Thats not allowed" with regards to my renaming of the duplication section headers to make them unique? Thanks! VernoWhitney (talk) 15:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Its simple you are not allowed to add numbers like that - its counted as OR.Jason Rees (talk) 15:38, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, since you appear to be involved with this and other related cyclone season articles, do you know of a way to differentiate the different Depressions and bring the articles in line with the WP:Headings guideline without finding a source which would make it not OR? I'm just trying to be a dilligent WikiGnome here, so if there's not a standard way to do it without a source, just say so and I'll drop it unless I can track something down to support a change. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:48, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The IMD does apply the designations ARBXX or BOBXX (XX=number), but id need to research the designations before adding them in to that season.Jason Rees (talk) 15:59, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Where hurricanes lie
Last I checked, the Indian ocean and western Pacific don't use the hurricane term. The Southeast Pacific does, however. Since the Brazilian Navy has never clarified which term is used in the South Atlantic, we really don't know what term to use down there. Tropical cyclone is nice and generic and covers everything. Cyclone and hurricane should be avoided, until the Brazilian Navy takes the lead on what terminology they wish to use for the southern Atlantic. Thegreatdr (talk) 00:18, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. A little digging, including a read of the Catarina article, found this link which states they plan to use the hurricane term, which is used everywhere else in the Western Hemisphere.  I'm going to have to revert your change.  Thegreatdr (talk) 00:31, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * American Samoa uses the term hurricane as well in their warnings. Thegreatdr (talk) 03:54, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

List of historic tropical cyclone names
The main problems I see with the article (now that the enormous task of referencing appears to be done) are that it does not have a lead summarizing the article below, and that a couple of the sections (southern Indian Ocean, southwest Pacific) don't have a paragraph summarizing a history of their naming, which the other sections do. Once those problems are solved, I'd imagine sending the list to featured status would be a snap. To be more certain, ask Juliancolton who has more experience getting through the featured list process than I do. I only have one right now, the one dealing with List of wettest tropical cyclones in the United States. Thegreatdr (talk) 17:48, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Template:Hurdat
Hey thanks for the help with the Hurdat template data for Hurricane Henri (1979). I'm curious how you got the data in that particular format, because I'd like to get it for Hurricane Dolly (2008) as well which also passed very near Scorpion Reef. Thanks - Marcusmax ( speak ) 02:46, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh okay thank you, this Hurdat data is really good for figuring any direct hits by Tropical Cyclones. - Marcusmax ( speak ) 02:52, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ooh with Hurricane Henri that would be quite hard to determine. I can tell you with 100% certainty that it passed directly over Scorpion Reef however without further data I can't tell if it went directly over an island but it certinally passed within at least 10 miles of one in the group. - Marcusmax ( speak ) 21:41, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Template:Costliest_Cuban_hurricanes
I'm pretty sure Ivan would be #5 on that template you made. Per the WMO, it did $1.2 billion in 2004 USD, which would be $1.38 billion in 2010 USD. The problem is that the WMO link in the Ivan article is down, and it doesn't seem the WMO has the reports archived pre-2005. I'll try and find another link for that damage total.

BTW, if you were to make that a top ten, the next few would be Charley, Wilma, and Kate 85. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:57, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Template: Infobox Hurricane
Hello. I've been trying to clean up broken anchor links on various tropical storm articles, and noticed that for the Aus and SPac basins the Hurricane Infobox template links to Australian scale, which looks like this Australian scale, but the Categories and ranging section is no longer in the article. Linking to Australian scale Australian scale seems to be the right thing to do instead. I played with it on the sandbox/testpage and it worked well, and tried fixing the template, but it didn't seem to change anything. I don't know if it takes some time for the changes to take effect (I tried clearing the browser cache), but for now I have reverted my changes just in case. Could you take a look at it if you get a chance? Thanks. Winston365 (talk) 20:22, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, cool. It is working for me now for some storms, ie. Cyclone Xavier (2006) and Cyclone Urmil (2006) (both of which I edited recently), but not yet for some others, ie. Cyclone Tam (2006) and the storms you linked me (Cyclone Tracy and Cyclone Lin (2009)). I suspect it's just some technical issues with wikipedia and they'll all come around sooner or later. Checking my watchlist reports "Due to high database server lag, changes newer than 2,079 seconds may not appear in this list." I've never seen it anywhere near that bad before, so I suspect there may be a clog in the tubes somewhere. Thanks very much for looking into it for me. Winston365 (talk) 22:01, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Cyclone Phet
Hi Jason ! You have deleted some of my edits. mind ... can I ask you why ? Even you deleted the "Cyclone Yemyin" from "See Also" section ??? and about the upgradating of the cyclone system into "Very Severe Tropical Cyclone" by the Pakistan Meteorological Department, although its reference is already given ??? --Zubair71 (talk) 15:57, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Yemyin is not relevant
 * 2) PMD did not upgrade Phet into a VSCS - they follow what the IMD say.Jason Rees (talk) 15:59, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Jason ... About Yemyin to be "not relevant" may be your personal opinion, but a "Senior Meteorologist's" view considers it to be the "most relevant" to the concerned region. May I ask you to revert this, so include "Cyclone Yemyin" into the "See Also" section. Zubair71 (talk) 16:12, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * How is it relevant? AFAIK the last TC's to affect Pakistan were ARB 01/02 of last year.Jason Rees (talk) 16:15, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Then the "Cyclone Nargis" should also be deleted from "See Also" section, as it is "more irrelevant" ? Zubair71 (talk) 16:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Nargis is only there because it was the last equiv hurricane ill probably end up substituting it for a link to the List of the most intense tropical cyclones should Phet qualify. Anyway i dont mind adding it but i just need to know how it is relevant - im probably just overlooking something.Jason Rees (talk) 16:24, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Phet/ARB 01 2001
I did, I specified the lead of ARB 01 2001 to state it's the second strongest by barometric pressure. Oficially, the IMD has ARB 01 as a much stronger storm than Phet so it doesn't really matter. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

 * No its not the second strongest cyclone in the Arabian sea as the official warning center (The IMD) for the Arabian sea only reported a pressure of 960hpa where as the IMD reported a peak pressure of 932 for the 2001 India Cyclone. RegardsJason Rees (talk) 18:26, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi its me agian, Cyclone phet is the 2nd strongest cyclone in the arabian sea since it was a category 4 and 2001 cyclone was category 3... I also note that i had removed this line "37 people killed in punjab due to outer flow of phet"...thats wrong the storm that hit upper parts of Pakistan was due to a strong Western Disturbance. So please make that correction as senior Pak met office head also said the same things..--15jan19932010 (talk) 07:14, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Cyclone Phet is not the 2nd strongest cyclone in the Arabian sea as the IMD who are the official warning agency for the Indian Ocean only reported a pressure of 960hpa also the strongest cyclone is measured by pressure and not using windspeeds.Jason Rees (talk) 13:29, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Until we get an official source saying Phet was stronger than initially thought, and that its pressure was much lower, we can't call it the second strongest cyclone in the Arabian Sea. Now, you could call it the second strongest named cyclone, but naming is trivial considering they've only had it for 6 years. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:23, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Gale percentage needed for Atlantic tropical storms - virtually zero
One wind report from QuikScat (or equivalent), land, or ship report which is outside severe-type convection that can occur during vertical wind shear situations. That's all. No "gales must cover two or more quadrants of its circulation for it to be considered a tropical storm." Thegreatdr (talk) 21:06, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Hurricane Grace
I see you changed my edit of the above page by reverting to 100 mph equals 155 km/h. Seeing as the actual figure is 160.934 km/h I don't understand why you did this? What do you mean by "Actually that is right", your figure or mine? Metricmike (talk) 21:28, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The figure quoted in the article was correct - as the peak windspeeds were 85kts which equals 155km/h and not 160km/h.Jason Rees (talk) 21:37, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It did not say knots, it said miles per hour, where did you get the knots from?Metricmike (talk) 00:49, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The source. Jason Rees (talk) 00:52, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * According to http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1991-prelim/grace/prelim04.gif the maximum wind was 90 knots on the 29th at 1400 UTC. This would make it 166 km/h or 103.5 mph. Metricmike (talk) 01:01, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * HURDAT only confirms peak winds of 100 mph (85 kts). It looks like they operationally believed it reached higher wind speeds for a short period between advisories, but we prefer to go by HURDAT whenever possible. 69.121.245.182 (talk) 01:09, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Here again though it talks about a 100 mph or 160 km/h wind, it mentions nothing about knots. It's obvious by the numbers they are rounded to the nearest 5 mph or 10 km/h. So why change it, the Convert template is obviously accurate, your source states 160 km/h, mine states knots which gives 165 km/h rounded to the nearest 5 km/h. Which source should we use? Metricmike (talk) 02:05, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Why add the convert templates when they are wrong?. The official database at NHC says 85kts whcih we will use since thats better than the report youve cited and when converted equals 155km/h. Also compare the convert template to the infobox in this revison. Their not the same where as in the version after it they are, and before you go blaming the infobox i know the infobox is correct. as my page notice says "the original value is in Knots and has already been correctly converted to km/h and mph already".Jason Rees (talk) 02:26, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Arithmetic
Hi,

Hi you said the convert template is wrong. If it is, it can be fixed. It's just arithmetic. Can you tell me why it shouldn't convert 100 mph into 160 km/h? Lightmouse (talk) 22:26, 1 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Because its the wrong conversion. According to the warning center the peak windspeeds were measured at 85kts which equals 155km/h and not 160km/h.Jason Rees (talk) 22:43, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm confused. The article doesn't mention 85 kn. Lightmouse (talk) 10:19, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * The official database at NHC says 85kts which when converted equals 155km/h not 160km/h.Jason Rees (talk) 12:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Ah. The arithmetic of converting 85 knots produces 157.42 km/h. It then needs a choice of precision. I wouldn't say 160 km/h is wrong and 155 km/h is right. They're merely different levels of precision. I take it that you prefer a precision of 5 mph and 5 km/h. The article also contains '75 mph' and '70 mph'. What were the original values in knots? Lightmouse (talk) 13:08, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 60 & 65kts.Jason Rees (talk) 17:26, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added the values in knots. I've set the precision to -1 which is the nearest 10 mph and 10 km/h. With the source value there, it seems acceptable. Lightmouse (talk) 17:49, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No rounding it to the nearest 10 is not acceptable. We need it to match the infobox which correctly says 155 km/h. If this isnt possible then i suggest that the convert templates are removed. Also please see this Discussion as i think its relevant.Jason Rees (talk) 21:00, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Finally, any typical conversion, now, can be rounded to the nearest 5 by using new option "disp=5". For 85 knots (kn):
 * 85 kn &rarr; 85 kn
 * 85 kn &rarr; 85 kn
 * However, storm data has the additional concern that conversion might be based on unknown speeds in knots, so for that reason, very often the conversions are hand-coded into an article (hand-copied from the source data). Perhaps if the conversions have been omitted in a particular source advisory, such as NHC, then use {convert} with an internal note of usage ONLY because the source did not report the conversion amounts.

The articles are being very cautious about connecting it to Dianmu and don't explicitly state that Dianmu was a major factor. All the storm may have done is brought up a moist, tropical air mass which then led to the downpour. Until there is a direct link that isn't being cautiously worded, it's best not to include it.

Hello, you recently created the pages Cyclone Fiona, Tropical Storm Fern, Tropical Storm Flora, and Typhoon Flo; each of these is a redirect to itself, which is useless to readers.

Re: Favour
Although the data I've looked through is not "technically" official (JTWC), it definitialy should give an idea how accurate that table is. I've bolded years with more than three storms between the two. I also believe I've found the easternmost forming SPac storm on record. First position is at 132.2°W. Easternmost Category 3: Obtained at 146.8°W. First Category 5 (1988)

Data note: Up to the 81-82 season, there are storms with unknown intensities.

Interesting notes:
 * 1982-1983- Had a bunch of storms east of the dateline, oddly bunched around 150°W
 * 1984-1985 and 1985-1986- Numbers matched up perfectly between RMSC Fiji and the JTWC

I'll finish this table when I get home in an hour or so. I've completed it through the 1988-89 season. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:21, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: 11E
It was initially stated by the wpc (as seen in the rainfall graphic by DR) and now the KMZ Best Track supplied by the NHC has the two tracks connecting, the end point for 11E and the start point for Hermine are at the same exact coordinates as well as time. Hermine 11E This would also account for the delay of releasing a TCR in what would normally have been a short-lived TD. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:32, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

1965 Karachi cyclone
This cyclone has so many mystery behind it...

Thankz HunterZone (talk) 10:04, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * 1.It was formed in December(unusual)
 * 2. Whether it was a Western Disturbance or something else
 * 3. Did it hit karachi directly or near karachi(some websites say it hit karachi other say near karachi)
 * 4. December 15th 1965 or 1964(what year is right???)

Ok i will help you out, i have set up a sandbox here feel free to contribute to it and or plonk useful links on the talkpage. Also it was a TC or if you prefer a cyclonic storm per the IMD.Jason Rees (talk) 19:29, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I think this article cant be made...there is nothing about it on the web..i mean what will i write in its met history, impact, damage...what name was given to it by IMD eg ARB 01 ETC...only the thing that i found on web was that it killed 10,000 people and made landfall near karachi or over karachi and thats it...thus this article cant be made...anywayz thankz for ur time...HunterZone (talk) 07:18, 20 November 2010 (UTC) There is plenty of infomation on the Web or in books its just about finding the right name for the cyclone. For example when i did the 1990 Andrah Pradesh cyclone i found a few sources by looking for the 1990 Machilipatnam cyclone. Also something i forgot to mention is that i have managed to find an ATCR from the IMD which gives us quite a bit of detail on this systems MH.Jason Rees (talk) 17:28, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Also this is the only thing that i found  http://indianweatherman.blogspot.com/2010/06/cyclone-history-for-karachi.html  (it say cyclone occured in 1964 not 1965!!! thats weird)..it is actually from pak met office, but PMD has no other info related to this cyclone. HunterZone (talk) 13:24, 21 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm - Id personally bet its the remants that had an impact in pakistan very near to Karachi as that is the JTWC track which cuts out as soon as it weakened past a TD. As for a December 1964 cyclone it didnt happen AFAICT based on IMD and JTWC records. Also Cyclonebiskit managed to dig up several sources last night for an December Pakistan-India Cyclone so maybe its better to call it the December 1965 India-Pakistan Tropical Cyclone.Jason Rees (talk) 18:03, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Can a remnant cause so much destruction and deaths??? and even that in December and when western disturbances has control over Pakistan??? eg cyclone jal remnants approached Gujarat province (India) few days back but did not reach sindh province (Pakistan) because of western winds another example is Cyclone Phyan which reached Gujarat as a remnant but could not entre sindh....I think it must have reached cyclonic storm strength once again near indo-pak border(just like Cyclone Yemyin, but it was formed in monsoon season)the IMD did not paid any attention to yemyin according to them it was a "deep depression"...while according to PMD its max wind speed were 70 mph gusting to 80mph.. HunterZone (talk) 13:23, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

2010 season effects table
You changed the table. The table is better with landfall, instead of all areas affected to know easily how many 1-minute sustained winds (mph) has the storm at landfall and how many minimun pressure (mbar) at landfall. please change to areas affected table to landfalls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khaled98 (talk • contribs) 19:24, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Why should i? It encourages people to add original research in such as direct hits and it also gives WP:Undue weight to systems that make several landfalls but dont do that much damage. For example Why should the season impact section in 2003 focus more on Claudette than Isabel? Isabel caused 10 times the damage and 47 more deaths. Is Claudette any more important because its center happened to move over land twice, and Isabel only once?. Also this brings us consistency with all the season articles as in one or two basins it is difficult to tell where a system made landfall. Also it makes it more accesable to people who do not live in the US and have km as their primary unit of measurement.Jason Rees (talk) 19:48, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
