Q1: Why are we counting the unnamed subtropical storm as a named storm?
A1: Even though it wasn't given a name like Arlene, it was functionally the same as any other named tropical or subtropical storm. Q2: When can a storm get its own article?
A2: A storm qualifies for a standalone article when it becomes sufficiently notable. This usually occurs after a storm produces significant land impacts. For more information, see Wikipedia:Notability (weather)#Tropical cyclones. We also cannot predict if an invest will be notable per Wikipedia:Crystal ball. Q3: Why is Gert put before Emily and Franklin?
A3: Gert formed a day before Emily and Franklin and was classified as Tropical Depression Six by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) because it was the sixth tropical cyclone to form during the 2023 season, and we follow the NHC practice of ordering systems by order of formation, not strictly alphabetically. |
