The section about 03F does not seem complete, so this needs to be fixed. Wikieditorperson1 ( talk) 22:52, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ HurricaneEdgar, Vida0007, and JCMLuis: Just to make you guys aware, I decided to make a start on Cyclone Judy in mainspace, as it was a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone that directly impacted Vanuatu as a Category 4 Severe tropical cyclone. I was unaware that you guys had already started to make a draft article on it and have incoroprated what you have written as its MH into it. Regards, Jason Rees ( talk) 15:46, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Since it made a similar track with Judy, and is currently a C4 (which possible intensification still arm in the future). Shall we make an article about it? Typhoonnerd ( talk) 00:48, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
@ JavaHurricane: We do not need separate articles for every tropical cyclone, especially when our sources are not considering them to be separate events. It isn't just about them hitting Melensia in such a short time but following our sources which are not seperating out the damages. This includes Vanuatu NDMO which is not even going to assess any dmaages until after the systems have dissipated. I would be happy to note any impact from the earthquake in the article but I highly doubt that it caused any. Jason Rees ( talk) 16:44, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Yaku is being described as an unorganised tropical cyclone by Peru's NMHSS (Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología del Perú), which brings the temptation to add it as an official TC in the season article. However, I am not sure how to do so since it isnt being rated on the Australian or Saffir-Simpson scales and nor do i have any data on it bar whats in the article.

For the record, within their report to the WMO's RA V Tropical Cyclone Committee, the FMS has announced that while TC Hale had gales associated with it, they were never located near the centre and thus it did not meet the criteria for what is a named tropical cyclone. As a result they have downgraded it to a tropical depression. I have already made most of the changes to the season pages but felt the need to note it here for future reference. Jason Rees ( talk) 01:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Leaving this here for the record and so I dont forget about them, the FMS has publically released a tropical cyclone report for TC Irene archived here and a seasonal summuary ( archived here). Jason Rees ( talk) 19:45, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
I think it is worth having a conversation about Gabrielle's peak intensity, as it seems that we have a couple of different intensity estimates from the BoM, Nadi and Wellington, which is causing some confusion. For starters, Steve Young's tracking data for Gabrielle shows that operationally the BoM was in charge of the system when it peaked, which is backed up by page 12 of Nadi's seasonal summary. At the time they estimated that it peaked as a Category 3 TC with winds of 41.2 metres per second (80 kn; 150 km/h; 90 mph) which is backed up by its database and public report. It is worth noting that this is the estimate that Nadi used operationally in the public bulletins that they did issue eg Hurricane, Marine, ICAO. Now let's turn our attention to Nadi's seasonal summary, which for some bizarre reason provides several different intensity estimates for Gabrielle within it and raises several questions over how reliable Nadi's estimates are since they did not fully monitor Gabrielle. The first of these estimates is on the front cover, which shows that Gabrielle was a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone on both edges of its AOR. Table 2.2 on page 7 shows that Gabrielle peaked with winds of 43.7 metres per second (85 kn; 155 km/h; 100 mph), while page 12 shows that Gabrielle peaked with winds of 41.2 metres per second (80 kn; 150 km/h; 90 mph), both of these estimates would make it a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone. It is also worth noting that Nadi has not presented its BT for Gabrielle as it would As a result, I feel that we should ignore the estimates provided by Nadi in its seasonal summary for the time being and revert to the BoM's overall estimate of 80 knots.
