Talk:List of Atlantic hurricane records

2005 Records

There are a few storms that seem to be missing, partially from the alphabet soup that was the end of the 2005 hurricane season. I recall storms developing straight through December (the shear just didn't develop over the Carribean that usually does). Therefore, I think some of the records are at least partially obsolete. Misread/misunderstood some of the text of the article. Stupid me.

Earliest formation records by storm number

Could someone update the List of Atlantic hurricane records#Earliest formation records by storm number table? According to the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season page, most of the storms have so far set records for the earliest formation by storm number.

They're there, what are you talking about?--Pokelova (talk) 10:44, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Sorry. I must have glanced at the second column of the table. I feel dumb. Sorry. Morriswa (Charlotte Allison) (talk) 05:48, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

The No-Name Storm of 1993 is omitted from this list. It affected 22 states, had winds over 100+ mph and came in near Tampa Bay at high tide with a 9 ft storm surge in Hudson, FL. It traveled up the eastern seaboard with seas that were 65 ft in the Atlantic. Most people were not notified more than 2 hours in advance.

Teddy

Isn’t teddy the biggest storm now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by IGotYourToastNow (talk • contribs) 05:41, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

No. This advisory lists the gale diameter at 740 nautical miles (850 mi; 1,370 km), which, according to the source given in this article's table, falls short of Igor, Sandy, and Olga. TornadoLGS (talk) 20:03, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Sourcing issues

We have to eventually address the elephant in the room and figure out what information is officially classified as a record, versus excess information that has no value other than a statistic. Here is an example:

Source A gives a list of the 5 most destructive hurricanes in History.

Because we like to make the list consistent with other lists the list is expanded to include 10.

This creates a problem as it falls under WP:SYNTH, there are also additional lists on this article that take information directly from raw sources rather than having them cite a record as official. Kane Tanaka is the 3rd verified oldest person in the world... it is tied down to WP:RS calling her such. Its okay to have "records" tables as long as they are considered to actually BE noteworthy records. Where do sources normally cut off lists to include the most relevant information? Just something to think about... - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:09, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Formation Extremes

Hey guys I was wondering what some formation extremes were in the Atlantic. Specifically the most SW forming TS in the Atlantic — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoldGamer32 (talk • contribs)

Fiona most northern category 4 Atlantic Hurricane?

According to Hurricane Fiona article, it was the most intense category 4 Atlantic Hurricane on record. This should be added here. 115.96.137.237 (talk) 07:53, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

South Atlantic

I feel like this article is forgetting about the South Atlantic. While I doubt it would shake the entire article up, there would be some changes. I'm not entirely sure how we would do orders though (maybe separate by hemisphere?). ✶Mitch199811✶ 21:06, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

I think this article is for the North Atlantic only. It can be seen via the article title, showing "List of Atlantic hurricane records" and not "List of Atlantic tropical cyclone records. North Atlantic tropical cyclones with winds greater than 74 mph are hurricanes whereas South Atlantic tropical cyclones with winds greater than 74 mph are cyclones, like much of the Southern Hemisphere. Thehurricaneman (talk) 15:48, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

The only example, Hurricane Catarina, is referred to as a hurricane. Even then, your reasoning is flawed as that would exclude tropical storms and depressions from the list. ✶Quxyz✶ 16:42, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Completely forgot about that, my bad. Probably just got a bit confused as I see Cyclone Catarina more than Hurricane Catarina. Thehurricaneman (talk) 11:35, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

I have clarified that this only refers to the North Atlantic in the lead as a temporary solution (though, nothing more permanent than a temporary solution). ✶Quxyz✶ 19:43, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

2024 being most active June

Are you sure 2024 should be part of the most active June party? Tropical Storm Chris got its name on June 30 at 11 PM AST, but that's actually July 1 at 0300 UTC, which is the term that we use. Iseriously (talk) 03:08, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

@Iseriously: Agree with this concern. I actually self-reverted my initial edit including 2024 as the most active season for this exact reason, but I see that it was added again by another editor who may not be aware of these concerns.

Alpha

Isnt alpha 2020 the most easternformed tropical cyclone? 122.104.179.52 (talk) 06:25, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Alpha formed at 18.1ºW and Christine formed at 14.0ºW, therefore Christine is still the easternmost tropical cyclone to form. Thehurricaneman (talk) 15:45, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Change source showing Beryl as the earliest Category 5

Rather than using public advisory 14 for Beryl, I think discussion 14 would be better as it explicitly states that Beryl is the earliest Category 5, as well as the second recorded in July. Thehurricaneman (talk) 09:39, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
