Bouchra[edit]

@Meow: Just to be clear, Bouchra never existed officially until November 10. The first advisory from Meteo France was on November 10 1800 UTC. Please stop adding it as a disturbance for November 9. That is completely inaccurate. Meteo France itself has said that disturbances marked on the map are not official systems. Figfires^{Send me a message!} 19:03, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide your statement after checking the Météo-France website. It was a zone perturbée (zone of disturbed weather), the weakest official intensity for tropical cyclones in this basin from the Météo-France, located west of 90ºE at 06:00 UTC on 9 November.-- 🐱💬 20:41, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Meow: Never mind... appears that has the equivalence of a TCR. All you had to do was provide a source. That info was not on the website yesterday. Figfires^{Send me a message!} 20:55, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All you need to do is provide a link to a source, not threaten users over it. We were discussing where the Météo-France would state that the storm formed on Nov 9 and the only source we found was the RSMC bulletin found here: [1]. It was thought that you pulled data from the ITCZ bulletin which the link above discusses the conditions of it's use. It looks like they've updated the track data since the edit and now. Supportstorm (talk) 21:06, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Figfires: The track data proving the formation date has been there since 18:00 UTC on 10 November, when it was named.-- 🐱💬 21:13, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, must have just missed it. Anyways, I would recommend leaving off the enter and exit basins on this system as it will be too confusing. It is going to enter and exit the same basins more than once. Figfires^{Send me a message!} 21:16, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The strongest storm is wrong. 203.177.174.136 (talk) 01:47, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 01:57, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Active Storm Infobox for Haleh[edit]

This is annoying me. There is enough information about Haleh to have an active storm infobox on the article page. Why is one not on there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Planespotter 748 (talk • contribs) 08:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Because Wikipedia editors do not update it often enough to make it worth while having.Jason Rees (talk) 19:44, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Idai Draft[edit]

I will be drafting out Idai. Noah^Talk 20:11, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Since it is, according to Jeff Masters, the worsest (deadliest) weather disaster of 2019 so far it isn't appropriate anymore to rediredt to the season's article. --Matthiasb (talk) 21:11, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Archive[edit]

An archive will be kept here for the remaining systems in the season. I will update the two current storms later today. The goal is to have a single place for accessing advisories. Noah^Talk 10:12, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kenneth Draft[edit]

I will make a draft for Kenneth as well. Noah^Talk 19:42, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template is broken!!![edit]
