Combination of CPAC and EPAC

Why aren't the Central Pacific and Eastern Pacific separate articles each season? It seems from other articles that basins are being defined according to the WMO and not ATCF. I realize that there has been little to no activity in the former for several years ongoing now, however to maintain consistency, each should be separated at some point moving forward. TriWX (talk) 19:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because they are combined into the same best track, and a lot of the storms in the CPAC originate in the EPAC. It's along the lines of the Australian basin having the Indonesian sub-basin. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TriWX I started a discussion on this topic last year but the consensus remains against combining the two. Jay Tee⛈️ 23:41, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Satellite image of the four storms

I imagine at some point we'll add this, so I'm requesting it now - can someone upload a decent image showing the four active tropical storms? Apparently it's the first time since 1974 that there were four simultaneous storms in the EPAC. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Point of information, 2018 Pacific hurricane season had four tropical cyclones active on August 7: Hector, Kristy, John, and Ileana.[1]

Also, use the new colours, please. _ZZ^Z 'S 18:39, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What new colours? I'm talking like a satellite image. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:45, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I thought you were referring to the summary map. Please disregard my previous request. _ZZ^Z 'S 18:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Found this image on WM Commons but I don't quite know if anyone captured the four together. Jay Tee⛈️ 03:39, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, got the image from NASA Worldview. Jay Tee⛈️ 03:55, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for adding! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hone article

I believe Tropical Storm Hone deserved an article, as it was the first CPAC storm since 2019, it will probably make impacts on Hawaii, and also has a notable meteorological history that could include the merging with another system. 96.236.149.251 (talk) 22:01, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it is too soon to start a draft on this system. Right now its meteorological history can be fully documented in this article as can its notoriety as the first named storm to form in the Central Pacific since 2019. (Bear in mind that it is not the first named storm in the Central Pacific during that time period.) Better to wait and see whether the "potential for heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and dangerous surf and rip currents" on the Big Island come to fruition. Drdpw (talk) 22:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Far too early, need to establish Hone’s notability before it can have an article in place. Having a disturbance that merged into its precursor and the chance of it impacting Hawaii don’t establish this. Jay Tee⛈️ 22:34, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coming back to this as I have a draft of a Hone article in my sandbox. Will move once impacts become more evident so we can avoid a rushed AfC. Jay Tee⛈️ 04:53, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For now, try to see what type of preparations are being made. Are any parks or beaches closed? That kind of stuff. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already have a paragraph of it! Will keep expanding though. Jay Tee⛈️ 14:11, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you share a link to the sandbox? Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 16:38, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink mobile This is my sandbox draft. Open to suggestions, will likely publish soon as Hone nears Hawaii. Jay Tee⛈️ 19:13, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Check for beaches and parks closed. That's what usually happens when storms pass near Hawaii. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:16, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

John article

If anyone is reading this talk page, I think an article for John will likely be needed soon. It's a rapidly intensifying hurricane about to make landfall. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A draft has been created by IrishSurfer21 at Draft:Hurricane John (2024), and it seems to be almost ready for moving to mainspace. CycloneYoris ^talk! 23:08, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not questioning the ultimate noteworthiness of the storm, but the draft seems rather thin right now. No reason to rush it to publication. Nice work thus far. Drdpw (talk) 23:45, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say if someone could update the met history to the present the article's good for publishing. Already longer than the published Helene draft. Jay Tee⛈️ 16:02, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Helene article will grow significantly larger during the coming days. What are the prospects of the John article doing likewise? Even with the met history updated, the article seems a bit thin for publishing. Drdpw (talk) 17:04, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I do agree with what Drdpw has said, I think it is clear as day that this storm is notable. Maybe it should remain a draft until enough data is found. 96.236.149.251 (talk) 21:31, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of information is already out, and will be coming out over the next day. I think it's fine to be published now. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:11, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just waiting for reviewer to publish the approved draft. Drdpw (talk) 01:31, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the article has been published. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:16, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
