Talk:2023–24 European windstorm season

Page contents not supported in other languages.

Article split into multiple articles, to prevent a messy article.[edit]

So, the 2022-23 European Windstorms article essentially became one big mess because half of the "windstorms" listed there, aren’t actual windstorms but also simply just periods of rainy and/or snowy weather. The issue was brought up by Marcia Bia. And to prevent what happened to 2022-23 season from happening again with this article, user 'Jason Rees' came up with an idea: split the articles! So, remaining question is: is anyone (who has the time) willing to work on that project? I don’t have time for that, however I’ll be available to fix a few things if necessary. 2A02:A44C:6682:1:30AE:E210:63AA:E81D (talk) 14:11, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How to do certain things...Q&A[edit]

Q On the 'seasonal summary' graph, how do you make the boxes close together on the Y axis like they are in 2022-23? A WeatherFollower (talk) 22:48, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Q: I think the formatting for the table is off, I tried to revert and cross reference with 2022-23 format to see if I am missing something but I cant find anything thats wrong. The table is stretched out all the way to the right, or am I the only one seeing that? I apologize if the mistake was on my end

Deathtoll by Babet[edit]

The Article Lists 10 Deaths +1 Missin and something with 5 Indirect Deaths. Its not sure if they are included in the 10 or not. The Article itself mentiones only 6 Deaths. The Article for Babet mentiones 8 Deaths.

Oliver/Bettina issue[edit]

There has been some conflict on two separate storms, Storm Bettina and FUB named storm Oliver which is currently expected to cause widespread disruption through most of central Europe. Storm Bettina which has now dissipated is a completely separate storm compared to Oliver. Therefore naming Oliver Bettina II is false and unnecessary, this causes a lot of confusion. If things like this continue to happen, is having an FUB section in the 'season summary' area really needed. I am a meteorologist who just wants to provide factual information to this wonderful page we've all created over the past 6 years. If you want to add information regarding systems user Idboizz please make sure it has the correct references to go with it. WeatherFollower (talk) 16:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wording and spelling make text partially unintelligible to me[edit]

The current article text contains:

”Like the Northern Group, the Free University of Berlin names storms based on low pressures across the continent and does not use a naming list. The storms listed below were strong enough or were anticipated to cause equal or more disruption then if it were named either by one of the other groups.”

I wonder what is meant by:

  • “low pressures” => depressions?
  • “then” => than?
  • “then if” => ?

Based on some guessing of the intended meaning I propose:

“Like the Northern Group, the Free University of Berlin names storms based on depressions across the continent and does not use a naming list. The storms listed below were strong enough or were anticipated to cause disruption equal to or more severe than according to naming criteria used by one of the other groups.”

Any way to add the North American and Asian winters to the infobox?[edit]

So in most hurricane season articles, there is a parameter in the infobox for other similar weather events during the same meteorological year. That is, the Atlantic hurricane season would also link the Pacific hurricane/typhoon season and the North Indian Ocean cyclone season. Could someone with infobox expertise add a parameter so we can add 2023-24 North American winter and 2023-24 Asian winter? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:07, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pia article[edit]

I've currently created a draft for Pia which you can see here. Should the draft's content be merged with the main article? ''Flux55'' (talk) 01:10, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
