Talk:Timeline of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season/Archive 1

Only cross-season storm ever recorded

Anyone got a cite for this claim? —Cleared as filed. 19:27, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

As indicated in the article, this has happened before. Hurricane Alice did the same thing between 1954 and 1955. joturner 23:31, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

It is ridiculous to consider Zeta part of the 2006 season; clearly it belongs with the one that just ended a month ago, not with the one that won't start for another five months. Of course it also has a 2005 name. No important information on Zeta, except for a reference to it, should be in this article. 63.40.40.29 04:02, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I think might be putting the information in both places for convenience of users. --AySz88^-^ 04:29, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately the 2005 page says: "For continuation of Zeta, see Timeline of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season." That is poor form, IMO. Hopquick 04:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Zeta

Since there's a section on Zeta in the Timeline of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, I'm removing the section here. The storm, although in the 2006 calendar year, is not part of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcwd (talk • contribs) 10:04, June 10, 2006

I think we had already reached an agreement that it was worth mentioning. I've restored it. —Cuiviénen 14:40, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, sorry for the trouble then. -Tcwd | Talk 03:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Disturbances

Should we include something about the date when the NHC first recognizes a disturbance which eventually becomes a tropical cyclone? I know that on June 9th several Tropical Weather Outlooks specifically mentioned development of the weather in the western carribean sea into a tropical cyclone was possible within 24 hours. I think it would be interesting. Runningonbrains 02:19, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you referring to backporting it, or adding information whenever the NHC says that tropical storm development is possible? Martin Blank 01:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Timeline

I'd like to see a timeline graph, like in the 2005 PHS and the 2004 and 2005 AHS. The only problem is I can't do them; I always mess up. íslenska hurikein #12 _(samtal) 02:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Complete details

Something that I don't understand is why downgrades are not tracked here (my own edit was reverted) when downgrades of super typhoons to typhoons are tracked in the Timeline of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season article. I looked through the Atlantic timeline articles' discussion pages, and saw nothing banning downgrade times. In fact, not posting downgrade information provides an incomplete picture of the storm information, as it makes it appear that a storm can go from a Category 5 to a tropical storm immediately, when this is (virtually?) never the case. Martin Blank 01:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Super typhoon -> typhoon downgrade is essentially similar to a typhoon -> TS downgrade - it's a different "level", per se. Category downgrades aren't done. If you want to do so, please do it for every single storm in the Atlantic and Pacific back to 2004. – Chacor 01:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

You could be a little more diplomatic about it. Instead of just saying that things "aren't done," which sounds like policy, you could say that the current practice is that it isn't done. Martin Blank 14:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
