Frequently asked questions

Q1: Why are we counting the unnamed subtropical storm as a named storm?

A1: Even though it wasn't given a name like Arlene, it was functionally the same as any other named tropical or subtropical storm.

Q2: When can a storm get its own article?

A2: A storm qualifies for a standalone article when it becomes sufficiently notable. This usually occurs after a storm produces significant land impacts. For more information, see Wikipedia:Notability (weather)#Tropical cyclones. We also cannot predict if an invest will be notable per Wikipedia:Crystal ball.

Q3: Why is Gert put before Emily and Franklin?

A3: Gert formed a day before Emily and Franklin and was classified as Tropical Depression Six by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) because it was the sixth tropical cyclone to form during the 2023 season, and we follow the NHC practice of ordering systems by order of formation, not strictly alphabetically.

Tammy active or not?

Would Tammy still be considered active as an extratropical storm, or not? It's still being monitored and has a high chance for direct regeneration zoey (trooncel) 14:24, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See how Tropical Storm Gert is treated in the article to get an idea of how Tammy will be if it regenerates. See Tropical Storm Emily and Hurricane Earl for examples of how Tammy will be treated if it does not. Drdpw (talk) 14:35, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It literally regenerated back into a storm today. So include that it is active. 2605:8D80:407:37F9:50EC:53DB:4928:5437 (talk) 14:58, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This season has technically 22 storms, 21 tropical or subtropical storms.

If we include the unnamed subtropical storm that formed on October 12, will this be the fifth or fourth most active season? 2605:8D80:406:859D:64CB:499F:81B7:3126 (talk) 18:21, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Unnamed tropical storm was counted as one, the current numbers are correct. If we were to classify it as a most active season, it'd be tied for 4th. ✶Mitch 199811 ✶ 18:36, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, there has been no confirmation that a subtropical storm on October 12. The season as it stands has 21 named storms, including the unnamed subtropical storm in January. Gum balls 678 talk 21:52, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not, it is OR but one barely formed for a day in the North Atlantic. It will be announced in post-season reanalysis. 2605:8D80:404:4CEE:D560:2380:1CBA:E22B (talk) 12:49, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If and when that happens the article will address it, but not until. Drdpw (talk) 13:25, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Storms in the Caribbean and Gulf

Is it worth noting that most of the storms have developed or spent most their lifetimes in the Atlantic Ocean. Only like six have existed in the Caribbean or Gulf, of which five developed there and one (Idalia) became a hurricane. 35.130.105.90 (talk) 20:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding this information to the article would be WP:OR without a reliable source noting this. Jay Tee⛈️ 22:18, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
