These are a few tests on certain stuff that seem interesting (mainly, these would pertain to my special interests). (UNFINISHED)
- I also realized that someone else made a subpage about Typhoon Irma while editing this, so if you read this unfinished script, I apologize.
- yes, you can use the prototypes that i have here, and you can edit in any way you like (edits to a specific section). just make sure to give credit.

Typhoon Irma or Super Typhoon Ining was a powerful typhoon that had the fastest intensification of a tropical cyclone at the time -- this was later surpassed by Typhoon Forrest twelve years later. The last and strongest typhoon of the 1971 Pacific typhoon season, the system formed from an area of quasi-stationary circulation west of the Caroline Islands. The increased cloudiness allowed the storm to intensify into a tropical storm on November 8, given the name Irma. Irma remained erratic, moving otherwise slowly through the islands of Ulithi, Woleai, and Yap. The storm began to move in an increasingly faster and smoother northwest trajectory and by November 10, the system had begun to intensify within increased favorable conditions. On November 11, it reached its peak intensity of 155 knots and a pressure of 884 millibars within 24 hours. Throughout the next several days, the storm began to weaken as it paralleled the Ryukyu Islands and by November 15, the system became extratropical. The extratropical remnants continued until November 17 while moving east to east-northeast across the eastern part of the basin.
Despite its intensity, Irma's damages were limited to shipping and crop damage and Irma remained at sea throughout its lifetime. Only minor damage occurred within the Caroline Islands and no fatalities were reported.

Unknown
Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionOn November 2, a quasi-stationary circulation formed west of the Caroline Islands. Four days later, a strong band of westerlies formed south of 5°N and created an elongated area of low pressure. Favorable conditions along the area allowed the disturbance to develop and on early on November 8th, the increased cloudiness allowed the storm to intensify into a tropical storm by the JTWC, given the name Irma.[1]
Irma remained an erratic tropical storm for the next few days, often moving slowly through the Caroline Islands, possibly due to a weak steering current. It began to move in a northwestward direction, passing 30 nautical miles of Ulithi on November 10. On the same day, Irma began to rapidly intensify as it moved through increased favorable conditions parallel to the Philippine Sea.[1] For this reason, the name Ining was given by PAGASA. Irma continued to rapidly deepen and by November 11, it had reached its peak intensity of 155 knots and a central pressure of 884 millibars. At the time of its intensification stage, the system had winds of 65 knots and a pressure of 980 millibars.[2][3]
Irma weakened considerably as it continued its northwesterly track in a slightly slower speed and it began to curve towards the northeast, passing parallel to the Ryukyu Islands and Japan on November 14. Later the next day, Irma turned extratropical as it moved east with an increasingly faster speed and continued to weaken rapidly. The remnants would continue to perspire until November 17 when it dissipated while moving east north-east across the basin. [1]
Impact
editIrma's impacts were relatively minor as it stayed out at sea for the majority of its life. However, there were reports of houses being washed in the Eauripik Atoll due to high seas that plunged 200 feet inland. In the Woleai Atoll, wind gusts of up to 50 knots were recorded. In the island of Yap, reports of 30 knot winds and a pressure of 996.3 millibars were indicated as Irma passed about 30 nm west of Ulithi. Two ships were reported to have either run aground or missing due to heavy swells. [1]
On November 14, Irma passed through Japan as a weakening Category 1 typhoon. Winds of 48 knots with wind gusts up to 80 knots were recorded in Naha, while the Kadena AB reported winds of 45 knots with wind gusts of 64 knots.[1]

Typhoon Irma rapidly intensified into a Category 5 super typhoon on November 11 with a pressure of 884 millibars with a 96 millibar drop in intensity. This was at the time the quickest intensification within a span of 24 hours until Typhoon Forrest surpassed it with a 100 millibar drop from 976 millibars.[3][2] It is also the tenth most intense Western Pacific typhoon on record.

compared to the older format, the newer one gives out detailed information without most being squished in like its formation and dissipation dates. there's also an added JMA and JTWC estimates (although, JTWC is unofficial), giving a more concise understanding of the estimates given from two different agencies.

Infodump time >:)
edityes, i infodump everything, please skip if you're not interested in paragraphs of explaining stuff about the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season (yes, i'm hyperfixated on that ONE season. oh, and atlantic list III cause why not? :D)
that one hurricane that i always refer back to...
editSOOOO, the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season was the costliest Atlantic hurricane season on record and the costliest tropical cyclone season too, in which if you've noticed, ALL of the top ten costliest tropical cyclone seasons are in the Atlantic basin (specifically, the North Atlantic one). So in that season, almost all of the damages were caused by three hurricanes, Harvey, Irma, and Maria, with 42% of the toll from the former. SPECIFICALLY, the ninth named storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the season was basically the system that i can remember in top of my head and recall certain events from (this is all equal).
Anyways, List III! List III in the North Atlantic basin began in 1981 with some names from pre-1978 being in that list including: Maria (was added as part of a tribute to a best-selling novel called Storm by George Rippey Stewart, which was based on a fictional extratropical cyclone of the same name but different pronunciation. it was originally part of the old four-year lists in 1976 but was never used until 2005.), Arlene (it was used about four times prior to 1981), Cindy (it was used twice prior to 1981), and Irene (which was used for a crossover system a decade prior, later retired after the 2011 hurricane.) In the season, about twelve named storms were retired, with the most being (yes) the I named storms. For example, Irene was retired after 2011 and replaced with Irma, which would ALSO get retired after the system that basically did the impossible: make landfall as a Category 5 hurricane in the Leeward Islands. It was later replaced with Idalia for 2023. The strongest by pressure was Hurricane Wilma, which was a powerful system that made landfall in the Yucatan Peninsula and Florida and would be the last major hurricane to make landfall in the United States prior to Harvey in 2017. It was also one of the costliest Florida hurricanes. It also had a pressure of 882 mbars, which was the second-most intense in the Western Hemisphere, but also the most intense in the Atlantic. The strongest by winds was ALSO Wilma btw. (there are no retirements for 2023 BTW, just wanted to let you know ;))
I mainly did parts of the Tropical cyclones in 2017 article cause number one: i was bored, and second of all, I really wanted to show my appreciation further for tropical cyclones and my understanding of them, so I figured I'd start small.
also also, autism go brrr
anyway. time to talk about hurricane irma.
Hurricane Irma was a very powerful system that caused catastrophic damage to the areas that it affected, especially in the northern Leeward Islands and the Florida Keys. It was also a record-breaking hurricane, breaking many records (some have been surpassed, esp. in 2019 and 2022) including longetivity, intensity, and landfall. For example, the system was the seventh-strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall globally when it made landfall at peak strength (180 mph, 914 mbars (YES, i'm looking at you 185 mph Irma people *eyes looking at your screen*)). I'll end here!!!!!
Tables and stuff
editbefore i begin, i originally made a table listing all the storm's ACE in 2017. It got deleted (which gives me some good advice for now on), but i figured if i can make it here in this subpage, it would not be used in any other pages until i feel confident in doing so. so here it is.
this is also a test section, so feel free to skip this part or look through it if you want :D (not stopping you).
1: the first table that I created
edityep. I made that in November 2022, and it was never used because I didn't know what to do with this table in the first place, so yeah. here's a recreation. This was also inspired by older ACE lists for specific tropical cyclone seasons such as 1966 Pacific hurricane season, but i was ultimately inspired by an older revision of the 1978 Atlantic hurricane season.
| ACE (104kt2) | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 64.9 | Irma | 6 | 11.4 | Harvey | 11 | 1.8 | Cindy | 16 | 0.52 | Bret | ||||
