Tropical Cyclone Freddy is the longest tropical cyclone on record at 36 days
[edit]The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has declared Tropical Cyclone Freddy to be the longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record, lasting 36 days. The WMO Evaluation Committee did not consider ACE when making its decision. Additionally, Freddy was also the second-farthest traveling tropical cyclone in both the Indian Ocean and globally, with a distance traveled of 12,785 km (7,945 mi).PRESS RELEASEHurricaneEdgar 02:20, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Contradiction... Since Freddy is second globally in terms of longest distance traveled, in the Indian Ocean he must be the champion. Vệ Thần - Talk 22:33, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
What's needed to get this to a good/featured article
[edit]- Shorten the meteorological history to as short as necessary. There already is a sub-article. This would allow there to be more room for other aspects of the article.
- Rewrite the parts of the impact section so it's more about what the storm did, and less about who reported what. Examples include:
- "Locals reported seeing roofs torn off houses, broken windows, and streets flooded in Quelimane."
- . The nation's UNICEF chief of advocacy, communications, and partnerships, Guy Taylor, stated that there was "lots of destruction", and that Freddy was "potentially a disaster of large magnitude". Taylor also noted that rural areas were completely destroyed. "
- "State TV reported that hundreds were displaced in Freddy's wake. "
- "Locals said localized flooding was an issue even before landfall"
- "Dozens of houses were reported being washed away in floodwaters in Chilobwe."
- "It was stated that 14 districts suffered impacts from Freddy, equating to over half the country. Chakwera also said that 36 roads were broken, nine bridges washed away, and there were still many villages inaccessible by 20 March"
- Organize information together where possible, with the most important information first, progressing to the least important information by the end. Typically, the first paragraph of an impact section includes direct meteorological observations, where possible.
- An example for the above: right now there is a mention of the cholera outbreak in two separate paragraphs right now.
- Aftermath and rebuilding in the year (and now longer) since Freddy.

- Any kind of academic literature published would also need inclusion. Noah, BSBATalk 02:17, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
