MHS re.

Yup, It might be a week before I get through hurricane Ele, mainly because it was a basin crosser and I don't know where to get the advisory data for the WPac part of the storm. If you do have a link for those advisories, I would greatly appreciate the link :) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 21:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

No public advisory data? That makes it a bit harder...It's ok though, I'll do what I can. Haha, you were close with the school, I'm not saying the actual name though. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 23:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Cyclone Elisa (2008) expansion re.

I'm not sure what I can do to expand this article. It's well written and all it really needs is a good copyedit and to be gender neutral. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Storm of the month

Cyclone X

Deep Depression ARB 02 caused the 2008 Yemen floods. On October 19 the IMD noted that an area of low pressure which located to the south east of Salalah, Oman had intensifed in to a tropical depression and was assigned the number ARB 02. On October 21 IMD updated the system to a Deep Depression while it lay 700 km south of Salalah, Oman near the east coast of Somalia. It lost its strength while crossing the Gulf of Aden due to entry of dry air and land interaction as it passed close to the northeastern coast of Somalia. It later was downgraded to a Depression, named TC 03B by the JTWC. On October 24 it made landfall on the south-eastern coast of Yemen, leaving at least 26 civilians and six soldiers dead while trapping hundreds of people due to flooding and torrential rainfalls. The latest figure of casualties is of 184 persons dead and 100 others missing, mostly from the region of Hadhramawt, where the storm made landfall. A total of 733 houses were destroyed in the governorates of Hadhramaut and Al Mahrah, while 22,000 people were displaced. The Yemeni Government declared the two aforementioned governorates as disaster zones.

Other tropical cyclone activity

• Atlantic Ocean– In the Atlantic, four tropical cyclones formed this October. Tropical Storm Marco formed in the Bay of Campeche on October 6. It made landfall on October 8 and is one of the smallest Atlantic tropical cyclones since 1988. Tropical Storm Nana formed October 12 in the middle of the open Atlantic. It had no impact anywhere and dissipated October 14. Hurricane Omar formed October 13 and dissipated October 18. Eventually peaking as a Category 4 hurricane, Omar passed through the Lesser Antilles twice, including once near peak intensity. Fortunately, it caused only one indirect death. Tropical Depression Sixteen formed on October 16 and dissipated two days later after making landfall. It killed 16 to 20 people in Central America.

• Eastern Pacific Ocean– In the eastern north Pacific, three tropical cyclones formed this October. Hurricane Norbert formed October 3 and dissipated October 12. The strongest storm thus far this season, Norbert is the first hurricane to strike the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula since 1968. Eight deaths have been blamed on the hurricane.. Tropical Storm Odile formed October 8 and paralleled the coast of Mexico before dissipating on October 12. Tropical Depression Seventeen-E formed on October 23 and dissipated the next day without impacting land.

• Western Pacific Ocean– In the western north Pacific, two tropical cyclones formed. Tropical Storm Bavi formed October 18 in the open Pacific. It never came near land and dissipated three days later. Tropical Depression Twenty Two-W formed on October 13 in the Gulf of Tonkin and made landfall on October 15. It dissipated inland the next day.

• North Indian– In the northern Indian Ocean, two cyclones formed. Besides Deep Depression ARB 02, which caused flooding that killed 184 people in Yemen, Cyclonic Storm Rashmi formed October 25 and made landfall three days later. It killed two people.

• South-West Indian – The 2008-09 South West Indian Ocean Season got off to an early start with two pre season zones of disturbed weather. The first zone of disturbed weather formed on October 6 and did not develop any further. Whilst the second zone of disturbed weather formed on October 16 and developed in to Moderate Tropical Storm Asma.

Project News
A discussion concerning sandboxes for next year's articles has begun. Please consider working on sandboxes so they will be ready to publish. As tropical cyclones can form at any time in the western Pacific and northern Indian Oceans, these two season's should be made ready for cyclones by December. Ideally, due to the possibility of pre-season storms, the eastern Pacific and Atlantic seasons should also be ready by then, but they should at least be ready by the northern-Hemisphere antipeak in late February and early March. Seasons for the years 2010 to 2015 should be given the name "Post-2009 {ocean name} {cyclone term} seasons", as in "Post 2009 Atlantic hurricane seasons".

A category for tropical cyclone articles of very-low importance has been introduced. Although discussion is still ongoing, a rating of very-low-importance will generally be given to weak cyclones that do not have impact or set any sort of record.

Editorial
This month, our usual editor, Hurricanehink, has been on a semi-wikibreak until further notice. I am filling in as editor and distributor on an interim basis. The newsletter will continue as normal during that time. Thank you. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 00:49, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Re:JTWC Advisories (SHEM)

Hi Elena.

The JTWC do not offically archive their SHEM products BUT all off the advisories by the JTWC are archived on Australian Severe Weather. If youre looking for ones for the past year then check the seasonal talk pages as we have been trying to archive them on there.

Tropical Depression Seventeen (2008)

I respectfully disagree. Technically, you are probably correct, but this is forecast to become a hurricane and to hit Cuba, meaning barring something extremely bizzare happening, it will be needed soon. Yes, I know "future events" are not supposed to be grounds to create Wikipedia articles, but landfall somewhere is an almost certainty within 5 days and hurricane force winds are very probable within 2. If this were not to happen given the current forecast, that would itself be notable, meaning the article should be created. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:26, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Sandbox for Tropical Storm Cristina (2008)

Hi Elena85, I noticed your sandbox for Tropical Storm Cristina (2008). It looks pretty good so far. You are missing the track map though. Mabey when your done you can nominate the article for Good Article Status. Cheers. Leave Message ,Yellow Evan home ,Sandbox[ 15:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

GA's

It's been a long time since our fake hurricane seasons, hasn't it? Anyway, I have a question: have you ever written, or significantly expanded, a GA? --Dylan620 (Home • yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 11:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Newer Request

Done. Data for 1959's Ruth is still missing (I have found data for 1951's and 1955's Ruth, nothing about 1959's). Additionally, the dots of Wilda's track map are gray because 1951-60's JMA data doesn't indicate the intensity of tropical cyclones. (JMA considers Wilda a tropical storm while JTWC considers it just a tropical depression) -Ramisses (talk) 17:43, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Re:Help Please

The best way i find to save an image on to your desktop is too

1. Move your Mouse over the image
2. Right Click and scroll down untill you see something called save image and click on it
3. It should pop up with a screen showing my pictures
4. Change your folder to whatever folder you want it to go to
5. Name the file and then Save

1981 Pacific typhoon season

Do you, by chance, know where information concerning the PAGASA depressions lie? If not, revert the page back to its previous form. We have handled other pacific typhoon seasons in the manner in which you found the page. Thegreatdr (talk) 01:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

1998 North Indian Ocean cyclone season

Ive got Elisa up to a Good article and im going to leave it as a GA as i can not see it getting through FA unless you can. In your opinion are any of the depressions worth an article? Jason Rees (talk) 23:28, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

1959 PHS track maps

Hi Elena85! Unfortunately I can't make the track maps for 1959 PHS (and any other) until Wednesday because I'll be on a semi-wikibreak. -Ramisses (talk) 01:44, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
