Comments

"and Singapore.[1][2][3] Sumatra" those refs can just go into the relevant sentence(s) of the main body where the same ideas are discussed and evolved.
I think I would put Effects before Frequency, in the main part of the article. Start with "what is a Sumatra squall" then "what does it do" and then "life cycle" and then "how often does this occur".
Are there any lists of "records" of such squalls, in terms of wind speeds, rain, damage, fatalities etc?
- I haven't managed to find any statistics summarising any of these... I suppose Meteorological Service Singapore keeps records since Lo and Orton got their data from them, but they definitely aren't publicly available. I've searched keywords in Bahasa Melayu too, and I did find a recent incident in Malaysia that killed a few people. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 13:42, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Less squalls are" Fewer squalls.
"Madden–Julian oscillation " doesn't have a captial O.
"to a comma echo as " as that's a red link, it could use a footnote to explain what it is. Or better, an article!
- I reworded that sentence to explain what bow and comma echoes were. I'm not sure if there's enough info for a standalone article on comma echoes, so I went and redirected it to Bow echo#Book end vortices which explains their formation. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 13:42, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"in the Quarterly Journal" that should be in italics.

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 17:56, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
