Panama

Panama is located within the Central American gyre therefore the attacks of tropical storm number 19 and then the potential tropical cyclone Sara, directly affect the Panamanian nation as today, November 13 Sinaproc organizations managed by Sinaproc The disaster risk was made known, as happened in the article Hurricane Rafael (2024) a little comprehensive reading of the effects within Panama. I ask you not to delete the information on the talk page. Thanks 190.219.102.114 (talk) 05:04, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quick question: so what could anyone (including me) do to improve the article with the info about Panama? Joseph Ca98 (talk) 21:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, the weather these past several days in Panama is not directly tied to Sara, which developed in a different part of the Caribbean and so does not belong in this article. If you want to consult with others regarding a draft article on Fall 2024 flooding in Panama, I would encourage you to do so. Cheers. Drdpw (talk) 22:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because Sara will probably not get retired, in 2025, will we rename the article?

It is common tradition to put the year before the storm name in the title of an article. Should we, in 2025, change the name of the article from Tropical Storm Sara to Tropical Storm Sara (2024)? 🍋 🍋(talk!) 04:37, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily, as it is the first tropical storm of that name without an "h" at its end, and will be the Tropical Storm Sara that comes to most folks's mind first going forward. Drdpw (talk) 05:41, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

then in 2031, if the name is used? 🍋 🍋(talk!) 12:30, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, probably SillyNerdo (talk) 20:47, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok. 🍋 🍋(talk!) 21:55, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's if it gets used in 2032 (which frankly is still ridiculously far away to consider), it may be 2038 or later when the name next gets used as S is so late in the alphabet. ✶Qux yz ✶ 22:14, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of which, Drdpw, would you consider moving the List of other storms named Sara link into a hatnote? ✶Qux yz ✶ 22:17, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing, consider it

Done. Drdpw (talk) 22:27, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

not yet Joseph Ca98 (talk) 21:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not for the next six or twelve years at least. Have y'all not seen the change with Hurricane Rafael (2012)? It's quite a long time between changes if you ask me. My piece of advice: If a name were to be used for the first time in a basin, keep the year out for the next six years at least until a much stronger, costlier, or deadlier namesake comes once the year comes that the same list is used. Prominent examples are Hurricanes Francine and Milton which were both used for the first time after Florence and Michael. Another piece of advice: Shall a name be used for the nth time while previous usage(s) of the same name was gravely insignificant enough to not have an individual article (ex. Tropical Storm Irma in 1978 compared to Hurricane Irma in 2017), keep the year out of that lattest instance. Iseriously (talk) 23:29, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The track thingy needs to be updated

Even though I'm not talking about the intensity, I am talking about the colours. If you go to the track info, it shows the old colours instead of the new ones. So will you guys fix this? 2A00:23C6:4B67:501:8CAB:69C0:8A21:2A54 (talk) 16:25, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

just noticed it lol, I think someone will fix it soon prolly SillyNerdo (talk) 20:48, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deaths

This source claims that there have been several times the amounts of death as already reported but the timeframe is sketchy. Are these related to Sara? ✶Qux yz ✶ 23:07, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
