I just created this wikiproject, after several months of contemplating doing so. I hope everyone working on hurricane articles will get involved. I went ahead and wrote a bunch of guidelines, basically based on current practices...naturally since this is something I just wrote it doesn't necessarily represent community consensus and needs to be discussed. That discussion should probably go here for now...although eventually we may make these pages a little more structured. For a general TODO list, see the "tasks" item on the project page.

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Editors removing formatted citations for bare URL citations - please see the ongoing discussion here. There’s a bit of an edit war in the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season about this section. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 18:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Following the abovementioned ANI discussion, Template:Infobox weather event/Current, Template:Infobox weather event/live, Template:HurricaneWarningsTable, Template:IMDWarningsTable, and Template:TyphoonWarningsTable have been nominated for deletion, citing concerns with MOS:CURRENT and WP:NOTNEWS. Editors are invited to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 June 19#Tropical cyclone current storm templates. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 05:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have posted a discussion at Village Pump (Policy) as a followup to the ANI thread on how to handle information on current tropical cyclones. It can be found at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Wikiproject procedures for WP:NOTNEWS in reference to active storms. TornadoLGS (talk) 23:22, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
My proposal is to use metric units first in infoboxes and meteorological history sections in Atlantic and Pacific hurricane articles. This is because countries affected by these hurricanes include number of countries using entirely or almost entirely metric units. Only impacts in the United States would use imperial units first. For example, storms impacting both Mexico and US would use metric first in section of impacts in Mexico and imperial first in section of impacts in US. And possibly Belize and Bahamas would use imperial units too. This is example of metric units first in article of Hurricane Otis:
Hurricane Otis was a compact but very powerful tropical cyclone which made a devastating landfall in October 2023 near Acapulco as a Category 5 hurricane. Otis was the first Pacific hurricane to make landfall at Category 5 intensity and surpassed Hurricane Patricia as the strongest landfalling Pacific hurricane on record. The resulting damage made Otis the costliest tropical cyclone to strike Mexico on record. The fifteenth tropical storm, tenth hurricane, eighth major hurricane,[nb 1] and second Category 5 hurricane of the 2023 Pacific hurricane season, Otis originated from a disturbance several hundred kilometers south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Initially forecast to stay offshore and to only be a weak tropical storm at peak intensity, Otis instead underwent explosive intensification to reach peak winds of 270 km/h (170 mph) and weakened only slightly before making landfall as a powerful Category 5 hurricane. Once inland, the hurricane quickly weakened before dissipating the following day.[...] Light to moderate southeasterly wind shear displaced convection northwest of Otis's surface circulation during the overnight hours of October 22–23. The lack of vertical alignment and dry mid-level air delayed potential intensification despite an otherwise favorable environment consisting of high sea surface temperatures and abundant atmospheric moisture.[2] Sea surface temperatures ahead of the system averaged 30–31 °C (86–88 °F), above average for this time of year. The high temperatures resulted from a combination of a record-warm September for Mexico, an ongoing El Niño, and the influence of global warming.[3] The system's motion shifted from due north to north-northwest during this time, remaining around 6–8 km/h (4–5 mph).[4]Aconvective band developed halfway around the storm by the afternoon of October 23, and the surface circulation and thunderstorm activity moved closer together.[5] During the overnight of October 23–24, the storm moved into a region of more favorable conditions, with higher sea surface temperatures and weaker vertical wind shear.[2] Microwave satellite imagery depicted a low-level ring structure, often a precursor to rapid intensification, despite the overall sheared appearance of the system.[6] The storm's forward motion also increased during this time, potentially offsetting the negative impacts of southeasterly wind shear.[3] As a result, upper-level outflow expanded noticeably and the system's core became centered in the convection. This led to Otis beginning an intensification phase that would continue until landfall.[2] As the morning of October 24 progressed, outflow continued to expand in all directions atop Otis and many banding features circulated the storm.[7] The improvement in outflow was accentuated by a powerful jet streak—a wind maxima within the jet stream—which accelerated the rate of latent heat dispersal and fostered convective development.[3] Otis commenced explosive intensification and became a hurricane by 12:00 UTC (07:00 CDT) on October 24.[2] [...] --40bus (talk) 07:45, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Did you edit the images? That’s the real question here. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 02:48, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello! I've requested for Hurricane Alley to be moved to Main Development Region, with the associated move discussion located on the talk page. Your input would be welcome! ArkHyena (talk) 02:00, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
