Tropical Depression JMA

Is this a storm at latitude 0 for the first time in history? Nguyễn Quốc Anh (1248) (talk) 13:25, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Nah 2600:8802:63A0:BD00:5F3:4D19:4E0:5E0E (talk) 20:52, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 98S JMA

You can check data tracker on this for me. Because If not, JMA approved this 01W okay. Nguyễn Quốc Anh (1248) (talk) 14:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

officially marked as TC 012023. Amang is marked by JMA as "TC 022023". ~ 2604:2D80:E906:7800:502A:5531:8991:20CE (talk) 01:41, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

JMA doesn't use this kind of designations.  🐱💬 05:16, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

It's the World Meteorological Organization that shows these numbers, but the JMA web address does reflect them. 2604:2D80:E906:7800:D0FE:C24B:8F60:87DF (talk) 17:56, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Other system

Why is the depression listed under other system even though it was a tropical depression? ✶Mitch199811✶ 01:43, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

no idea, even though Sanvu is marked by WMO as TC number 03 of the year. 2604:2D80:E906:7800:D0FE:C24B:8F60:87DF (talk) 18:07, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Any source to prove this claim? HurricaneEdgar 13:50, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

According to the NOAA's report [1], there was no activity in the Northern Hemisphere in March. The citation marked as the NOAA only says it was an invest. ✶Mitch199811✶ 16:55, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Cyclone Mawar's death toll

Should Cyclone Mawar's death toll in Season effects section be marked as 0 or Unknown (current)? Sources like Al Jazeera directly state, "No fatalities or major injuries reported in the aftermath of the heaviest storm to hit the US territory since 2002." ([2]). Since there is multiple reliable sources that say "no deaths" or "no fatalities", I personally think the chart should have the death toll set at "0" rather than "Unknown". Anyone have thoughts? Elijahandskip (talk) 02:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Actually, Mawar was a C5 super typhoon, not a cyclone 180.74.219.163 (talk) 05:53, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Cyclones are like typhoons or hurricanes but they form in the Indian Ocean Some hurricane (talk) 06:06, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

I would agree it should be kept at 0 based on the sources. JayTee⛈️ 07:01, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Talim is a typhoon

I understand you relying completely on the JMA. But it's evident that Talim is more likely to be a typhoon. Can anyone edit the paragraphs to show this?
The Wikipedia shouldn't be so inflexible. We should overall consider various agencies' intensity classification. If the result is that the JMA's intensity classification is not reasonable, the JTWC is better to refer to. IntegerSequences (talk | contribs) 01:41, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

@IntegerSequences: JMA is the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center and as such as sole authority to officially designate storms as typhoons. Wikipedia:Consensus does not refer to a consensus of sources, but rather a consensus of editors. By the way, "Wikipedia" is not a countable noun so using the definite article with "The Wikipedia" is weird and must not be done further.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:50, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

OK. I've noted that this article doesn't rely solely on JMA. System summary provides both JMA and JTWC data, and the 'Actual activity' includes JTWC data. It's better not to mind JMA classifications if I think they are not reasonable. Thanks. IntegerSequences (talk | contribs) 08:55, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Should the ACE section be added to the Pacific typhoon season articles? Although it doesn't use RSMC data, it is also official and is a good measure of seasonal activity. IntegerSequences (talk | contribs) 02:51, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

• Question Is ACE data used by reliable secondary sources such as journals and organizations who are not generating the data themselves? —siroχo 03:46, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

  Yes. It's from Colorado State University calculated with JTWC data. IntegerSequences (talk | contribs) 04:14, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

  Support. Thank you. As long as we're not acting as a secondary source, I think adding it in seems fine. —siroχo 06:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Typhoon Doksuri

doksuri was STILL spinning after july 29 it only dissipated on early morning july 31so someone just edit that for me cuz ppl keep reverting it (source: zoom earth) Wayner235! (talk) 13:55, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Wayner235!: We do not make our own analysis of the data or take information from Zoom Earth but instead, we follow what the warning centres say.Jason Rees (talk) 14:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

JMA announced that Doksuri was dissipated, it's remnant brought heavy rain in Beijing. (until JMA best track release). HurricaneEdgar 01:49, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Typhoon Khanun

uh its time to create a page for that typhoon now... Wayner235! (talk) 13:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Anyone got a sandbox they can publish? Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 14:05, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Hurricane/ typhoon Dora

Dora just entered the basin. Can you make a section? 2600:8802:63A0:BD00:5F3:4D19:4E0:5E0E (talk) 20:56, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Anyone write it? 2600:8802:63A0:BD00:5F3:4D19:4E0:5E0E (talk) 21:11, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Typhoon Lan

Can somebody make a page on lan? 2600:8802:63A0:BD00:5F3:4D19:4E0:5E0E (talk) 00:22, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

As of now, the section is still quite small though it does look like their could be some potential to spin off. Do you have any sources I could use? ✶Mitch199811✶ 14:58, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

The article is significant expanded, but tomorrow I'll be completely this article :) HurricaneEdgar 16:26, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Dora

How far has Dora traveled? It seems to have gone quite a while as it transitioned back into a subtropical depression.. does anyone think it could be more farther traveled than John? 103.183.193.235 (talk) 13:38, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Probably. It literally trekked the ENTIRE Pacific before making a turn towards Alaska. Some hurricane (talk) 06:13, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

This is WP:NOTAFORUM for general discussion- please do not use talk pages to discuss thoughts and opinions. And stating that Dora may have traveled further than John is WP:OR without a reliable source stating so. JayTee⛈️ 07:04, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

We need articles for haikui and saola

2600:8802:63A0:BD00:ECB3:51E4:FF63:77DA (talk) 15:43, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Will somebody make an article for Saola? Therealangelo1177 (talk) 04:47, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Typhoon Saola

Isn't the draft for Typhoon Saola still pending for review? Why move it already to article space? Or the draft is now accepted already? Writer-ian26 (talk) 07:38, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Typhoon Haikui

I guess we need to have an article for Haikui. Therealangelo1177 (talk) 11:56, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Retired Names

As great as it is to see people updating this article, we have to remember that we are not allowed to speculate over what names are retired or might be retired by PAGASA in Spring next year.Jason Rees (talk) 17:12, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Typhoon Bolaven

Given how Bolaven underwent rapid intensification to tie Mawar as the strongest storm of this year, plus given the impacts it had in Guam and the Northern Marianas, shouldn’t there be a draft for it in the works right now? AnDeargMor (talk) 22:10, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

See Draft:Typhoon Bolaven (2023)! It’s almost done. I wrote the MH. Just needs some impacts. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 03:01, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Amang is a named depression?

I'm not sure how TDs can be named. I mean, they need to be a TS so they can be named. Some hurricane (talk) 06:12, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

In the western Pacific, tropical depressions can be named by PAGASA at their own discretion. Also keep in mind that this information is already in the article, and this is not a space for a forum on the subject. JayTee⛈️ 06:59, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Fails WP:NWX. Unless something significant happened in Alaska due to this storm (which I haven't been able to find), then I don't think its impact towards the Mariana Islands is enough (and intensity as well). luis 💬 23:50, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Support - Bolaven was a strong tropical cyclone but the article is rather short and provides very little detail the article doesn't already provide. The 2023 Pacific typhoon season has not been particularly active this and the article could benefit from the added length of a few extra details. About the WP:NWX claim, I would also agree; Bolaven was not only responsible for no deaths and no damage, but also wasn't particularly strong for a Pacific typhoon. Edit: Changing vote from Weak Support to Support after looking for sources about Bolaven's impacts and finding nothing useful. Poxy4 (talk) 02:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose - My feeling is that there is more that can be said about the impact on the Mariana Islands, after all we know that there was some damage on the islands. Someone just needs to find some time to dig through various news reports and other sources and research it.Jason Rees (talk) 11:57, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Official damage totals so far have mentioned no additional damage in the Mariana Islands. The only thing anybody has found (yet) is that it hampered relief efforts for Mawar and that's about it. Should a better source be found that shows that there was at least moderate damage I would probably change my vote to an oppose, but until then I support this move. Poxy4 (talk) 12:01, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose - per @Jason Rees. Clearly there is more to be said about this storm, it just hasn't been stated yet 2600:4041:47C:400:65A2:BDB6:42EB:862B (talk) 23:26, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

I've only expanded the impact paragraph of its section in the season page, and there really isn't much else to say about the storm. We can only wait for more reports to come, and the page should stay as a redirect until then. luis 💬 00:58, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Strength alone does not necessitate a main article. It has been over a month now since Bolaven dissipated and little to no information about its impacts have yet to emerge. Information about notable tropical cyclones doesn't necessarily come out immediately, but there's usually something out there about the storm after a few weeks. The fact that nobody really has anything to say about Bolaven pretty clearly shows that it's not notable enough to have its own article. Additionally, the article for the 2023 Pacific typhoon season is not extremely long and everything we wrote about the storm on this article could quite easily be summed up in Bolaven's section. Also, you can't assume there's more information about Bolaven coming soon. We don't know that; if it does, you can just create the article again at that point in time.

All in all, it seems to me that this argument falls under both WP:Clearly notable and WP:SOURCESEXIST. Poxy4 (talk) 13:36, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Actually—and sorry because you can't easily edit replies in mobile—I believe this might also fall under WP:ILIKEIT. Poxy4 (talk) 22:13, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Leaning oppose There can be a lot said in this article but if the needed details don't get added, then support

• Oppose A quick internet search provides several helpful informative sources on the storm that can be easily integrated into this article to expand it. I'd argue it does pass WP:NWX. JayTee⛈️ 00:15, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

The only useful source that you've picked is Crisis24, but even that source stated that there was no major damage or casualties. The Stars and Stripes is already used in the storm's season section and the other two just talk about the wind speed, gusts, and rainfall. Fox Weather includes preparation details, but that does not increase notability by much, and can be added to the season section. luis 💬 01:18, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

remember the impacts of a storm doesnt justify whether or not this storm gets to keep an article Insendieum (talk) 03:15, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes... yes it does. No other aspect of this storm is significant and its impact was not large. luis 💬 13:30, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@JCMLuis All three of the sources I picked that aren’t currently in the article can each contribute at least two more sentences to it easily. What’s more, those are four sources in the first page of Google, we can certainly dive a little deeper. This article can survive on its own, it just needs expansion by willing editors or the user that created it. I also agree with @Jason Rees’ point that there is most likely other impact information out there regarding Bolaven and it just needs more research. JayTee⛈️ 03:30, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

For the record, just because this is a relatively new article and you found lots of sources does not alone mean that this article should be kept. I agree that the sources listed are helpful but until someone actually adds the information and shows that there's enough coverage of Bolaven to prove it notable I would still say this article should be deleted. Poxy4 (talk) 12:01, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

I agree with you that simply being a new article with potential sources doesn't establish Bolaven's notability, however I'm saying that I think we should at least try expanding before we jump to the conclusion that Bolaven should be merged. I think the page was just created too hastily without a proper P&I section. JayTee⛈️ 13:02, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

You bring up a good point, so what I think we should do is table this discussion for now and give editors some time—maybe two or three weeks—to add more information. Afterwards we can bring this back up again. Poxy4 (talk) 15:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

I'd agree as I find that a more reasonable solution than a hasty merger. JayTee⛈️ 05:30, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

• Support merge At the end of the day, the storm caused no fatalities and minimal damage. Without breaking several meteorological records, which did not happen, it does not need a stand alone article. The article can be comfortably condensed into the main article, even if more impacts can be found. The article can have a full 2 paragraphs in the main article before being split and right now it doesn’t even have that so let’s focus on expanding that section before keeping this article split off. 12.74.238.80 (talk) 19:46, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose Bolaven was deadly, but only in Marina Islands. 120.28.224.32 (talk) 10:52 PM U.S Time, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose per @JayTee32: and @Jason Rees:. And although the met history needs some work (as with all WPAC articles this year for some reason), it'll likely be huge enough to warrant its own article. Typhoon Nuri (2014) got merged back to the main season article because of its lack of impacts.

Oh it came back. Well, that's nice. Regards, 👦 16:37, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Sanba's Statistics

Hello. Although wiki shows Sanba causing $798 million damage and 4 deaths, there are no sources or citations. I suggest removing such statistics for Sanba. Pogowo (talk) 03:39, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Typhoon Saola

Apparently from what I heard, the JTWC changed Typhoon Saola's stats from 135 kts to 140 kts. I need confirmation if this is true, so I can edit the change. SpicySweets (talk) 03:37, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

In a few months, the JTWC should release its Best Track data for this season. You should be able to check if it's true. Twix82 (talk) 03:38, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

2023 season the fourth less than Atlantic and no storm in Vietnam

It is true information, and the earlier I add the link to the articles, the latter I add two source in Vietnamese. So I can edit and apply changes. 2001:EE0:49A8:21C0:DD9A:4D87:932E:F8A3 (talk) 03:04, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Both sources aren't understandable for other languages. If you could source an English news article, that would be nice. Twix82 (talk) 03:12, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Several languages have an article for Sanba. If we merge those together and tweak the grammar, we could get a decently sized article. Twix82 (talk) 03:14, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
