A graph and a couple images have now been added, so there should be enough graphics for the article. Can anyone else find other obvious problems which would prevent GA? Thegreatdr 21:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I think it should pass but I think the Afican Dust outbrakes section should be intergrated into the wind section.
(for the future. Nothing to do with GA). The article correctly takes La Nina and El Nino into consideration. However, we are all (local articles too) stuck (as the article is) by quoting average temperatures (for example) based on both phenomena since this condition was not known until the 21st century or so. IMO all new weather statistics should take both conditions into consideration so that temperatures and rainfall are given for each phenomenon separately. Comparing this years temperatures with last is silly in view of our new knowledge. Okay for your local newscaster ("Wow! Ain't it awful?"), but not so good for an encyclopedia. As I write this, we are in a La Nina cycle. Temperatures and rainfall should be compared against La Ninas in the past, not against averages or El Ninos. Student7 ( talk) 16:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I readded the earliest and latest occurrences of snow within the article. By earliest, I mean the earliest in the fall season and by latest, the latest in the spring season. Should we be keeping track of the latest occurrence of any weather event in this article, or just the general climatology? I'm advocating for climatology, due to the name of the article.

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have added an article history to reflect this review.

While I agree with what has been said about tornados being "weak," it really a) needs a reference, b) needs something a little clearer for weather experts. I suspect F0 and F1 for "usual" tornados, but higher ones for spin-offs from hurricanes, c) while I don't want to play chamber of commerce here, mention of tornados to people living where they don't experience any or many is like saying "a little earthquake" or a "little" nuclear explosion. It tends to create a "little" hysteria. I don't know how to circumvent that. I guess we tell it like it is (pretty much the way it is now). Student7 ( talk) 21:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
I believe these seasons are tropical not temperate climates and should not be in here. The preferred tropical name, anyway, for the so-called "dry" season (when it rains less) is the "windy" season, because the wind is noticeably higher. (I lived in the tropics for two years). Student7 ( talk) 01:22, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
An editor asked me if I wanted the gray skies from dust from Africa in the lead double referenced since it was referenced in the article (below the lead). I guess my thought is yes, since it is peculiar. Is there some wikipolicy that prevents citations in the lead? I don't think there is. Some people never get any further than the lead. (If it were up to me I'd have every sentence or paragraph footnoted). Excluding vandalism, 30-50% of our problems and discussions are mostly due to inadequate footnoting IMO. Student7 ( talk) 12:43, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Just as a note, the reference format within this article no longer meets GA criteria. I'll be upgrading the ref format over coming weeks. Thegreatdr ( talk) 17:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Many of the other climate pages (e.g. climate of hong kong, climate of new zealand) present table or graphs of temperature data by month that are really usefull. The chart on the Florida page has two major failings 1. it only states temperatures in Farenheit (most of the world uses celcius) and 2. its very hard to read and only present temperature data (no humidity, average rainfall etc). Is there anything we can do? 202.52.192.35 ( talk) 02:50, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

The second climate map is largely inaccurate. It either needs to be updated or removed from the article. It is taken from the global map featured on the Köppen classification article, and Florida isn't the only region inaccurately represented there. Data sets from NOAA are available for anyone interested. Berkserker ( talk) 06:48, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
