Please don't add low pressure areas and well marked low pressure areas to this article because they are not tropical cyclones yet but more monsoon troughs, Depression is the lowest of tropical cyclone intensity See Tropical_cyclone_scales#North_Indian_Ocean so wait for India Meteorological Department (IMD) upgrade to Depression before adding to article.
Also low pressure areas and well marked low pressure areas don't get designation numbers until they become depressions as IMD only designating numbers (BOB 01 or ARB 01) when system reached depression intensity.
Can anyone help put together an article for Cyclone Amphan? Given its track and current rate of intensity, I worry an article will be required sooner than later. I imagine there will be lots of preparations in the coming days. If those preparations work, then us Earthicans can avert another tragedy in a year dominated by Covid. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:30, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I’m dumb, sorry, didn’t see this at all— I can totally go back and revert everything if you’d like. Mea culpa, super new to editing on here. BloolizardK (talk) 08:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@BloolizardK: No, it's okay; I've changed my own mind, though we should indeed replace the tweet once we have official bulletins. Don't feel bad, it's part of the learning process.--Jasper Deng(talk)08:09, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When I first visited the Cyclone Amphan page, it was a category 4 equivalent and quoted as having 925mb pressure. However that was during the weakening phase. It should have had lower pressure during the brief time it was a category 5. B137 (talk) 01:33, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The first thing to note is that on Wikipedia we take the pressure from the IMD who thought that at Amphan's peak it had a minimum pressure of 925 hPa, however, the JTWC disagrees with this and notes the minimum pressure as 907 hPa. This is likely to be due to a mixture of different forecast processes at the warning centers as well as different wind-pressure relationships.Jason Rees (talk) 01:59, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
901 was the lowest pressure on the Cyclone article. That was when the sustained wind was at 165 but also gusts were edited as 165. B137 (talk) 15:29, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
According to IMD, the latest bulletin haven't issued yet, so stop the edit fight. Also JTWC is unofficial and the official RSMC is IMD. Beraniladri19🌀🌀 (talk) 07:29, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Other people, including me were probably looking at IMD's Satellite Bulletin data which at the time showed ARB04 was at T2.5 at around 0300AM (0830AM) which they did upgrade the system. ~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grifforzer (talk • contribs) 15:42, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
