Portal:Weather/Suggestions

To suggest a weather-related page on Wikipedia for Portal:Weather's Selected Article, Picture, or Biography, or another suggestion to improve the portal, click "edit" for one of the sections below. Selected Articles should be a a Featured Article except in an unusual case. Selected Pictures should be scientifically important as well as (with some exceptions) aesthetically pleasing. For now, Selected Biographies are selected for a two-month run, and should be larger than a stub with a few references and a picture/portrait (in the future this standard will hopefully be raised).

Overlap with tropical cyclone topics are less than ideal, as this subject has its own portal, but can be used a few times a year.
