Record latest in East Pacific

edit

If a tropical depression does not form in the East Pacific today (June 25th, 2023) then it will be the latest since the reliable records began. Should I wait until the first named storm to add the "record latest in basin" to the "first storm formed" parameter? HurricaneDeci (talk) 03:23, 25 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Tropical Storm A​gatha on July 2, 2016, is the latest first-named storm to develop in the eastern Pacific basin according to Dr. Phil Klotzbach.[1] Regarding adding "record latest in basin" to the "first storm formed" infobox field, I would say wait until there is an actual date in that field and a citation that validates the statement.

Ok, that works. Thanks! HurricaneDeci (talk) 15:33, 25 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Tropical Storm Ava in 1969 is the other latest first named storm along with Agatha - 2604:2D80:E906:7800:D902:FEB9:E3B6:5BE8 (talk) 00:49, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hurricane Dora record

edit

I have noticed that Dora had intensified three times in its trajectory, which makes me indicate that Dora would break several records with past tropical cyclones. Dora quickly intensified three times, something very rare or usual like Cyclone Freddy that had intensified seven times in February of the current year. МОДОКАУ 21:04, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Noting that would be original research, unless a reliable secondary source makes note of it. And even then, not every distinction is noteworthy, let alone "a record". Drdpw (talk) 21:23, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Both are twenty minutes apart, again. I'm going with Image 2 foobarbaz 01:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

i’d recommend you just be WP:BOLD and add one of the pictures, they’re very similar and, as you stated, only 20 mins apart JayTee🕊️ 18:56, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Dora's Peak image

edit
Image 1 Image 2 Image 3
     

Good morning my fellow editors I know this is the third time bring this problem up but we need to put this to rest for good so I noticed that there is a lot of images of Hurricane Dora that is near or at peak intensity and we need a vote on which one we are going to use before this storm dissipates before an edit possible war ensues. Honestly I think we should maybe try to upload maybe two images around peak intensity so image edit wars be avoided. We had similar problems 3 years ago back in 2020, where multiple people uploaded images minutes or a couple of hours apart, for example here. This is why me personally usually I upload three images or four image per day spaced out, one in the morning one in the afternoon one in the evening, and one at night in exceptional circumstances because I don't want people fighting or editing over other between images minutes or a couple of hours apart.

  • My vote personally is Image #3 because it is more zoomed out and more representative of the storm, and the image is more than 6 hours apart from the other two.

I do like image 2 as well, but the pure white (255, 255, 255) pixels in the eyewall lead me to prefer image 1. ~ HikingHurricane (contribs) 23:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
@HikingHurricane: Your edits to both commons files have made each of them look dingy. Drdpw (talk) 23:52, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • I'd say that Image 3 has something on it (idk what those bar thingies called, static?) that I don't like, has an almost pure white eye, has too much unwanted space, and is a nighttime image, so I'll go with either Image 1 or Image 2 (also following WP:WPTC/IMG) foobarbaz 08:51, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Image 1 – I personally believe that this image has the best lighting and shows off the annular characteristics of the storm the best. Image 3, in my opinion, doesn't feature a good view of the storm from the top down due to how zoomed-out it is, the storm's eye not being fully cleared out at that time, and that the image was taken at night. Image 2 is too dark and makes the storm unclear from the satellite imagery, and doesn't show its annular characteristics as well as the first image, so I think the first image would be the best option for the storm. ChrisWx (talk - contribs) 23:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
    ChrisWx definitely raises some good points, I might switch to Image 1. foobarbaz 22:33, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • This became way more complicated than it needed to be, what with the multiple intensity fluctuations and with alterations being made to the commons image files during the course of this discussion. I like the current iteration of image #1, which is presently being used in the infobox, and !vote for it to remain there.

Dora's Indirect Fatalities

edit

Should we really include all the deaths from the Hawaiian wildfires as part of Dora's death toll? We don't count the deaths from the wildfires partially generated by Fausto in 2020, or Ophelia in 2017, as part of the seasonal death total in either of those seasons. JayTee🕊️ 21:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

While our saying that the wildfire deaths are indirectly related to Dora is not technically wholly false/inaccurate, as there is a tertiary cause-&-effect link between Dora and the wildfires, it was not the winds from Dora that sparked the wildfires or that fanned their flames. Even in the media, the fire deaths are not being indirectly attributed to Dora. The connection between Dora and the winds that drove the wildfires is made, but not one between Dora and the great loss of life. Drdpw (talk) 16:02, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I agree, so I feel they should be taken out of the lead and seasonal fatalities. JayTee🕊️ 11:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hurricane Dora’s own page

edit

Should Hurricane/Typhoon Dora have its own page? It caused many indirect deaths and was also successfully able to cross over the international line as a category 2 equivalent typhoon Insendieum (talk) 05:14, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

As is always the case, if you want there to be a page on Hurricane Dora you can start a draft so you and others can edit it. If it meets the notability requirements it will get published. You don’t need to ask permission to start a draft or make a page. JayTee🕊️ 16:04, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
JayTee32: Both a draft article and a direct to main space article have been started and both were subsequently redirected to this season article. Drdpw (talk) 16:27, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think that’s a premature move. Why did we get rid of the draft if Dora’s still active and is being increasingly discussed by secondary sources? JayTee🕊️ 16:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
UPDATE: Draft has recently been revived: Draft:Hurricane Dora (2023). Drdpw (talk) 01:36, 4 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Dora already dissapated. Look at this. It already degraded into a depression . THis is JMA s last advisory. https://www.data.jma.go.jp/multi/cyclone/cyclone_detail.html?id=61&lang=en2600:8802:63A0:BD00:7C60:E6D2:C453:C84 (talk) 15:15, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
it was before dora dissipated so we already know 103.183.193.235 (talk) 07:03, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
i’m well aware that Dora has dissipated. it was active four days ago, when I made the original comment. JayTee🕊️ 11:31, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
well actually now its a subtropical depression so it hasn’t dissipated yet.. maybe now there should be a page considering its been active for the last 22 days 103.183.193.235 (talk) 11:11, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hurricane Dora track illustration

edit

The figure in the upper right of the page seems to be showing Dora erroneously close to Hawaii. E.g. compare to [2]https://www.wunderground.com/article/safety/hurricane/news/2023-08-07-hurricane-dora-tropical-storm-eugene-remnant-pacific Userino (talk) 03:49, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Userino, that's the track of Hurricane Calvin earlier in the season. That summary map was last updated on July 23 and doesn't show Dora yet (nor Eugene or Fernanda). ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 04:56, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hurricane Hilary (2023)

edit

I moved Hurricane Hilary (2023) out of draft space and it seems like the right place for details such as what's currently listed at #Current storm information. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I'm sure I'll be heavy opposed on this, but I really think this article should be draftified by WP:DELAY and WP:CRYSTAL. We can't assume this storm's impacts will be notable enough for an article at this time. DarkSide830 (talk) 03:20, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Draft:List of Nevada hurricanes

edit

Seeing as Hilary's impacts are spreading across the southwest United States, I thought I'd mention that we have articles for List of California hurricanes and List of Arizona hurricanes. I wondered if there was enough for a list of Nevada hurricanes, considering it isn't that far from the coast. I know there is at least Hilary and Nora in 1997, plus the storms listed among the wettest storms in the state. I created a draft, in case anyone has the interest in working on it. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:37, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Add Dora's subtropical depression part to the summary map

edit

While the CPHC did not recognize it, the JTWC had Dora as a subtropical depression after re-entry. I am wondering if this should be added to the summary map, as this was done in 2002 for a storm (I believe it was Maysak?). Sria-72 (talk) 02:11, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hilary hits California questions

edit

Numerous sources have stated that: Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years. A few sources (including one cited in this article) have stated: Nora was the last tropical storm to enter California or Arizona. How are both accurate? What should be stated in this and in the Hilary article? Drdpw (talk) 17:00, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Drdpw If I understand correctly, once Hilary moved into California several news sources stated it was the first tropical storm there in 84 years because they only counted tropical cyclones that actually made landfall on the state, and focused more on storms that struck California then ones that crossed in from Mexico, like Hilary (and thereby incorrectly attributed Hilary to making a landfall there). For complete accuracy (and to avoid any WP:OR), I think only the sources that state the storm was the first to move into California since 1997’s Nora should be used.

Beatriz image

Image 1 Image 2
   

Which image should be used since Pogowo opposes my image changing? Pinging @Pogowo since he did not establish consensus before reverting. I'm voting Image 1. foobarbaz 03:53, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Image 2 as it's a more clearly defined picture, and Beatriz looks more organized and representative of its intensity comparatively. JayTee🕊️ 19:23, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Image 2 Closer to peak intensity, shows the storm more well defined with a clear center being apparent, which is lacking in image 1. RandomInfinity17 (talk - contributions) 00:11, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Image 2 which, as others have stated, presents a better picture of Beatriz. Drdpw (talk) 00:42, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Image 2 looks better to me. ChessEric 18:52, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Image 2 is clearly better, however it is too bright so you can't see the features of the storm too well. ~ Sandy14156 (Talk ✉️) 17:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Image 2 is really more better since it's clearer.

Hurricane Norma

I think hurricane Norma should have an article Addyisastrawberry (talk) 20:33, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

There is a draft, though it is thin on content, and contains nothing beyond what is already in this article. Drdpw (talk) 20:39, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
I'd be willing to work on it- I'm currently developing a Max article as well in my sandbox. JayTee⛈️ 01:32, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@JayTee32: As Max is a less noteworthy storm, please consider switching your attention to Draft:Hurricane Norma (2023). (Hurricane Lidia (2023) also needs expansion.) Drdpw (talk) 01:48, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Drdpw: I already finished the page, it passes WP:GNG and has sufficient info for its own article, so I'd greatly appreciate it if you don't unilaterally get rid of this page as you did with the last two articles I created. I'd be glad to focus my energies on Norma now. JayTee⛈️ 22:02, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
At first glance, your Max article looks fine to me, and it contains more information than could be fit into this article. Drdpw (talk) 22:11, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hurricane Otis

edit

Can someone add the newest cone from the NHC and stuff for Otis, considering it is now a Cat 3, likely to hit as a Cat 4, and the cone in Otis's area is the one from 10 PM last night when it was 50 MPH and not expected to be higher than like 80 MPH. I would do it myself but I'm still getting used to editing Wiki and don't want to mess it up the following is the current cone as of 22:13 UTC [3] Blueony (talk) 22:13, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hurricane Otis damage

edit

Otis’s total damage ( as of November 5 2023 ) is up to $12 Billion, which surpasses Hurricane Manuel from 2013 as the costliest pacific Hurricane on record. If verified, will this be noted in the article soon ( oh and this will make the 2023 Pacific Hurricane Season the costliest on record overall ) 2601:80:CB00:1260:BD2E:8A97:460E:35BF (talk) 23:45, 5 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

We are going to need an external source for the claim it explictly is the costliest Pacific hurricane on record just fwiw. YE Pacific Hurricane 00:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Track Map

Is anyone able to update the track map? Looks like it hasn't been adjusted since September and it falls outside of my skill range. JayTee⛈️ 03:29, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

The current track map for hurricane Calvin has an incorrect depression dot in the midst of the Precursor LP dots, leading a viewer to believe that Calvin became a depression prior to July 11, which is not true officially. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoldGamer32 (talkcontribs) 18:53, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Costliest hurricane season?

Probably, but that can’t be added unless it has a source. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 02:04, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hurricane Hilary

edit

was anyone else expecting it to be retired? I'm suprised it wasn't, considering it caused $915 million in damage, was a rare California tropical storm, and caused major flooding. 2600:1014:B1E4:804B:0:1D:97AE:1101 (talk) 12:15, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result of this discussion was to merge Tropical Storm Pilar (2023) into 2023 Pacific hurricane season. (non-admin closure) Aviationwikiflight (talk) 09:49, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I propose merging Tropical Storm Pilar (2023) into 2023 Pacific hurricane season. It was a pretty weak and not notable storm as it only caused very little damage and fatalities, plus the fact that it is a pretty short page that could be comfortably merged into this article.
also I should feel the need to mention this; Fernand of 2013 caused way more deaths than this storm, and that page was merged. AccordTM (talk) 13:04, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose. Pilar's section here is already too long for merging and adding other details that have been included in the storm's main article, which is why a separate article was created in the first place. Furthermore, the storm did cause some considerable damage, and a 65 mph storm is not a "pretty weak" system in my book. CycloneYoris talk! 23:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Support - most of the content is a duplicate of what's in the season section. The only thing that's different is a little bit of the impact, but that's not enough to keep the article. The section in the season article is 383 words long, and the Pilar article (excluding lead) is only 508 words. I think the additional 125 words can be merged easily into the season article. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:42, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Shmego2 (talk · contribs), could you reply to the fact that Pilar's article is only 508 words, which is only 125 more words than what's in the season article, which would not put the article over the size limit. Care to respond? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:13, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
