For the life of me, I can't find any more info on rapid deepening than the basic NWS definition...although i distinctly remember reading an entire paper on it from the NHC. Can anyone find more info?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Runningonbrains (talk • contribs)
I think this is a sign that this article shouldn't exist, and any perntinent information be merged with tropical cyclone. I think about 2 sentences would suffice, if it doesn't already mention thi s phenomenon. TimL15:16, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I created this article because it was a requested article. Unless there is a lot of support for the merger of this article, I'd like to keep it. Come fall, when I return to my campus, I will be able to accest meteorology journals, and probably expand this article greatly. Runningonbrains16:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rapid deepening vs. Explosive intensification[edit]
Do we have an NHC report on what is involved in the latter, more extreme case, to differentiate it from the standard concept of rapid deepening? --Chr.K. (talk) 05:13, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The text in question: "Explosive intensification is rather rare, as conditions must be exceedingly favorable for cyclone intensification. Explosive intensification occurs regularly in the West Pacific basin, with the greatest frequency off the north coast of Australia; however, it has occurred numerous times in the Atlantic basin" (emphasis added)
Either Explosive Intensification is rare, or it is not. I'd prefer someone more qualified than I make an appropriate edit, but I don't mind researching this a bit and doing it myself when I have some time. Davidl9999 (talk) 20:57, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There's too much examples in this article. Almost all info here is composed of examples, with only some ones have sources backing it up. I think that we should clean up this article (just like was done in the Fujiwhara effect article), leaving only the most notable examples and expanding the sections about the physics aspects about the phenomenon (similar to Bombogenesis article).

I don't think this image is actually of Wilma at peak intensity. It might be still Category 5 at the time of that image but it is clearly undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle and it's too long after its initial attainment of Category 5 for that to be its 185 mph peak intensity. So I would suggest either the replacement or removal of that image.--Jasper Deng(talk)20:19, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This article is composed of two (short) paragraphs of information on rapid deepening followed by a long list of "notable instances" that are arbitrarily added. As such, I don't really see the need to for an entire standalone article. Should we merge it with tropical cyclone?TropicalAnalystwx13(talk)00:06, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support - lead section even uses the "rapid intensification" term; different names in the title and lead would likely just confuse people. 65HCA711:17, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maria already gets a mention here, but what about record-breaking hurricane Irma that was a long track but also rapidly intensifying hurricane at one point. B137 (talk) 16:48, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps replace the gif of Maria with a gif of Cyclone Veronica, as I don't see many southern hemisphere storms mentioned outside of their respective articles. Or maybe Typhoon Hagibis of this year, for a slightly more recent storm BananaIAm (talk) 07:45, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Should the recent example for rapid intensification be Otis Instead Of Jova?[edit]
