I Propose that we change the colors to the way i presented and add a new category ONLY IF IT IS POSSIBLE(because, sometimes very severe cyclonic storm starts with category 1 on the SSHS itself), it might look more better and the classification between depression and deep depression will become more simple, because sometimes a Deep depression on the Indian scale is a tropical storm in the SSHS.

1) It is not up to us to decide on new categories, as its original research. 2) Its original research to say a deep depression is usually a tropical storm on the SSHS as its not true. 3) There is no need to change the colours around, as these are used several pages which would look bad if we changed the colour.Jason Rees (talk) 16:56, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
