Unless you guys out up alert notices (like merger banners), there's no way most people will have any clue where that discussion is happening. Or even that such a discussion exists.

scale colors?
Out of curiosity, does someone know where did the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale color scheme start out? for example, http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atlantic/
the current article (as of sept. 28) uses an alternative scale coloring scheme (white, yellow, orange, red)
The Colors
I’ve noticed that the colors for the categories have changed, like how red now represents category 4 cyclones and how purple represents category 5. Any particular reason for this? Just curious. Infinitive01 (talk) 22:01, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Infinitive01: There is a very lengthy discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#RfC: Changing the color scheme for storm colors to make it more accessible. In short, though, we needed to make the colors more distinct from each other, especially for colorblind people. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:08, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
Please change the colors back to where they were. If the colors are not Changed back, I will have to consider this an Act of Vandalism and will have to report it.
Nobody, And i mean NOBODY asked for these changes,Don't act like it isn't true, It IS.
So please do the right thing, The Smart thing, and change them back, Otherwise it will be reported. GhostHunter94 (talk) 05:10, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- @GhostHunter94: the old color scheme is no longer an option. There's an ongoing discussion on the currently accepted version and possibly changing it, but the old scale could not be kept for accessibility reasons. You're more than welcome to waste your time and report it tho. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 05:17, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- YES IT COULD.
- But now that you've wrongfully ignored us in the Majority that wished to keep it, I'll have no choice but to report you and anyone in the Minority who act like it needed to happen, when it didnt.
- This Unacceptable, and somebody BETTER change it back, NOW. GhostHunter94 (talk) 17:13, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Bro GhostHunter94 the smart thing is not making it inaccessible and possibly causing death through misinformation and nobody but you cares about the change in a negative light. 80.0.214.105 (talk) 16:28, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- it should be noted, that the hypothetical hurricane wiki still uses the old colors. though that wiki is NONSENSE! 184.67.166.254 (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

- @JirenOverload: We have had a lot of discussion and feedback about the colours and at the end of the day, the old colour scheme did not work for people who have accessibility problems. However, there is a further discussion going on at the moment about the colours.Jason Rees (talk) 11:08, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
Small error in table headings
In the main table in the upper right corner, which uses the Template:Saffir–Simpson scale, the headings: m/s knots (kn) mph km/h
are shifted left one column
I took a quick glance at the template but did not immediately see how to fix it S Philbrick(Talk) 11:37, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- I think I fixed it, I also change the categories from text, e.g. "One" to "1" prompted by a comment on the template talk page. My cursory review of the literature suggests the category names should be numbers not words S Philbrick(Talk) 15:17, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
Just one question.
Do we add hurricanes that meat the criteria (peaked at Category intensity and made landfall at that Category) after the storm dissipates or while it's active? BailiwickOfTheChannel (talk) 22:26, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- @BailiwickOfTheChannel Late reply, but technically most hurricanes are added to this page shortly after its landfall. Layah50♪ (喋ってください!) 01:21, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
"Tropical storm" and "Tropical depression" definitions
In the table at the top of the page, there is defined a "Tropical storm" as being > 18 m/s, and a "Tropical depression" as being ≤ 17 m/s. I have not found any references that define Tropical storm and Tropical depression that way, and definitely not in the articles on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Where have these come from, and can someone find references for these definitions? Richard n 13:50, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
- Update: found it: pd01006004curr.pdf (noaa.gov). Richard n 12:45, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
