August-free seasons

edit

According to the hurricane data archives at Unisys (Unisys Atlantic Best Track Archive), the following are the years which featured no active tropical cyclones (of tropical storm strength or greater) in the Atlantic basin during the entire month of August:

  • 1997
  • 1961
  • 1941
  • 1929
  • 1925
  • 1922
  • 1921
  • 1920
  • 1919
  • 1914
  • 1912
  • 1907
  • 1905
  • 1904
  • 1902
  • 1884
  • 1876
  • 1868
  • 1857

Obviously, some of the older entries to this list might not be correct, as technological limitations did not allow meteorologists to see all of the storms back then, as we are able to do today with modern weather satellite technology.

Images for each storm

edit

Here is an image of each storm of the season.

Nice and easy. If you have any better images, feel free to replace. Hurricanehink 02:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Todo

edit

A sysopsis section (maybe), references, impact pics (if there are any). Jdorje 20:27, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, looks like there's more work to be done in the form of a general copyedit. Many storm sections should be separated into two paragraphs, general wikification, etc. Jdorje 20:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Also, is the timeline needed? Majority of the information in the timeline is in the article through prose... --Hurricanehink (talk) 21:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yea, I think the timeline should go. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 21:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I upgraded it to C, since most sections are pretty full. What's missing is a full section for Fabian and Grace, as well as inline citations. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Another Subtropical Storm

edit

Look at this guys A weather report stated that a possible subtropical storm formed in October of 1997. Should I mention it in the seasonal article?. Storm05 16:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

It does look like a storm, but because the NHC did not upgrade it, I would say no. Hurricanehink 16:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
That's not a weather report. That's one guy's blog/email. It cannot be used as a source. — jdorje (talk) 18:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Merging timeline?

edit

Similar to the 1977 Pacific hurricane season, there weren't many simulataneous storms this season. I propose the timeline be merged, taking any of the content there and putting it in the season article that isn't already there. It's highly redundant now. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:45, 19 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Classification of pre-2002 subtropical storms

edit

While looking at the tropical cyclone report for the 1997 subtropical storm, I found that the NHC refers to it as "Unnumbered Subtropical Storm" rather than "Unnamed Subtropical Storm". For the 2000 subtropical storm, it is simply refered to as "Subtropical Storm". What should we call these two systems? I suggest titling them as unnumbered subtropical storms as they could not have been named in the first place and the 1997 storm is known as "Unnumbered Subtropical Storm" in its TCR (you have to actually read it). Cooper 14:06, 16 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

What is this listed in HURDAT as? Because by my logic yesterday, Subtropical Storm One would be most appropriate. To be fair, this particular case is somewhat of my fault, since I passed this at GAN. YE Pacific Hurricane 14:46, 16 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Its okay YE, I'm not really sure what we do with these ones either. Should we number them? I'll take a look at HURDAT. Cooper 21:52, 16 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
UPDATE: I found the HURDAT database for 1997, and it refers to this storm as "Unnamed". In addition, it refers to all other unnamed/unnumbered storms as "Unnamed". However, the NHC refers to subtropical storms like this as "Unnumbered". Do you think we should go with HURDAT or with the naming procedures, as subtropical storms were numbered before 2002? Let me know @Yellow Evan: Cooper 22:01, 16 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Unnamed would be better imo since they have been numbered since and for the record HURDAT is produced by the NHC.Jason Rees (talk) 22:50, 16 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
I'd rather go "Subtropical Storm One" just to be consistent with older articles in which unnamed TS's were added post-season or in re-analysis. YE Pacific Hurricane 18:01, 17 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
