I've taken care of that. This is just a note to remind you not to remove the {{FAC}} template from the article's talk page until the bot has done its thing, else it might stall. All the best, Steve T • C 22:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Radar image request

Unfortunately, I have radar images starting with the February 18 event, I do have some very good screenshots of the Late March and April outbreaks that I will upload. Southern IllinoisSKYWARNGot something to say? 01:24, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I have uploaded a screenshot of GR of supercells in TN on April 10 at [1], you can go ahead and place categories on the image and place it wherever you want to in the article since I have not worked on the article previously. Southern IllinoisSKYWARNGot something to say? 01:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Amazing Race Wikipedia Starts!

Hello, Shappy. This is a reminder that Amazing Race Wikipedia will start very soon. At 00.00 (or whereabouts), our host Firestorm will place the first Detour on your submissions page. Again, the Detour is a choice between two tasks; both members of the team choose one task and work together to complete it. A Roadblock is a task only one team member must perform; he/she may not have any help from the other team member. Good luck and enjoy the Race! :-) Shappy (talk · contribs) and Firestorm (talk · contribs) --EdwardsBot (talk) 13:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your nomination at WP:FOUR. We are attempting to keep the backlog down by asking each nominator to review another nomination. If you have a chance please do so.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 21:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you make one important track map for me?

Hi Cyclonebiskit,

Could you make a track map for me of 1966's Typhoon/Tropical Storm Kathy? It moved into the central Pacific from the WPac. Here is the data: [2]

Thanks a lot --Anhamirak 18:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, could you make another track map of 1966's Typhoon/Tropical Storm Marie? It has the same reason as Kathy. The data is here: [3]

Thanks again --Anhamirak 18:19, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh well, thanks anyway!

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #27

The Hurricane Herald

This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary of the WikiProject's progress and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list. This newsletter covers June 2009.

Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles.

From the editors

In recent months, the project has become increasingly inactive; with only a few active participants, we need your help for the upcoming hurricane season! Feel free to contact Hurricanehink (talk · contribs), Juliancolton (talk · contribs), Jason Rees (talk · contribs), or Cyclonebiskit (talk · contribs) for more information. Thanks!

Storm of the month

Tropical Storm Linfa formed out of an area of low pressure on June 14, the storm briefly attained tropical depression status before degenerating. By June 17 the system regenerated in the South China Sea. Slowly tracking northward, the storm intensified, attaining severe tropical storm status on June 19 and peaking in intensity the following day. On June 21, Linfa made landfall in Fujian Province, China as a tropical storm before weakening to a tropical depression.

In Taiwan, outer bands of the storm produced significant amounts of rain over southeastern areas of the island. Along the western coast, rip currents resulted in the drowning of one person. Six hikers also were reported to be missing. In China, torrential rains triggered flooding that destroyed 100 homes, killed one person and left six others missing. In all, seven people were killed by Linfa, with another 12 missing, damages in mainland China were estimated at ¥655 million (US$95.8 million) and agricultural losses in Taiwan reached NT$400 million (US$12.1 million).

Project News
The project as a whole is still rather inactive, though more articles are being created and expanded than in previous months. 18 good articles and four featured articles were promoted during June, including Wind. Additionally, about 28 new articles were created and assessed.

As of 01:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC), there are three featured article candidates; see the noticeboard for more info.

A discussion is ongoing at the project talk page (link) regarding the naming of unnamed tropical cyclones, such as 1978 January subtropical storm and 1975 Pacific Northwest hurricane. While more descriptive titles often constitute original research, official designations are sometimes ambiguous. Comments are welcome. There is also a discussion on how the project rates its articles on the importance scale.

A Few More Track Maps (Again :)

Hi Cyclonebiskit,

I know that I have been asking you to make a lot of track maps recently, but could you make track maps for:

  1. TC Dawn (1970)
  2. STC Dolly (1970)
  3. TC Florence (1970)
  4. STC Emma (1970)
  5. TC Gillian (1970)
  6. TC Helen (1970)
  7. and TD Isa (1970)

They are here: [4]

  • Note: If you decide to do these track maps, could you make all the point gray, because they are in 10-min winds for the Australian scale and the track map program only is in SSHS.
Thanks a lot --Anhamirak 21:23, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I am reviewing Hurricane Arlene (1987) for GA, and have registered some comments at Talk:Hurricane Arlene (1987)/GA1. Since I know you are very good at writing these articles, I am sure you can address my comments.

February 2009 tornado outbreak

I noticed you decided to withdraw this FAC thinking it was premature. A while back there was talk of a joint A-class review among weather-related projects, and I think its about time we got around to it. IMO it would be least disruptive at first to just submit all weather-related articles to Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Assessment, since that's the established system. If you think it's a good idea, I'll get the ball rolling (and post a note at WT:TROP of course). Since you are one of the editors who contributes heavily to both WP:METEO and WP:TROP, I figure you're a good guinea pig :-D -RunningOnBrains(talk page) 18:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Just checking up, have you given it any thought? Otherwise, I was thinking of being bold and doing it myself if you'd rather. Let me know if you have any objections. -RunningOnBrains(talk page) 06:18, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Timeline of the 1987 Atlantic hurricane season

Hi Cyclonebiskit. I've added a comment regarding that complex reference at the FLC. It would be good if we could find a mutually acceptable solution and progress the currently-stalled FLC. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:23, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Typhoon Dolphin/03F

Ive been doing a bit more research on Dolphin and discovered that depression in the shem also caused the sea swells. Having checked our records the only system around in the SPAC was Tropical Disturbance 03F. Normally we would say it would get an article, but we have a problem its that shitty system that was only offically classifed as a TD for six hours. JC reckons we could go for it but we would need about 2 paragraphs of MH. Thoughts? Jason Rees (talk) 01:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Storm of the month

Hurricane Carlos was the third named storm of the 2009 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Depression Four-E formed on July 10, and was quickly upgraded to Tropical Storm Carlos. On July 11, the storm strengthened into a minimal Category 1 hurricane. Following a series of intensity fluctuations, Carlos peaked as a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 105 mph (165 km/h). The storm subsequently began to weaken, and on July 16, Carlos degenerated into a remnant low. The cyclone had no known effects on land.

Project News
July was a relatively quiet month for the project; low levels of tropical activity allowed editors to maintain and build content regarding older storms. There are currently three Featured Article candidates and three Featured List candidates pertaining to tropical cyclones.

SchuminWeb (talk · contribs) pointed out towards the end of the month that hurricane disambiguation pages are often over-categorized. Efforts are currently underway to address this.

A discussion is underway at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Timeline of the 1987 Atlantic hurricane season/archive1 regarding the use of HURDAT as a reference. Input is appreciated.
