Eventual title[edit]

@ChessEric and Cyclonebiskit: There have been 2 sub-tropical storms named Alpha, one in 1972 and the one currently battering Portugal. Assuming it is ready to be moved to the main encyclopedia, I recommend moving this draft to Subtropical Storm Alpha (2020) and leave Subtropical Storm Alpha as a redirect to the disambiguation page Tropical Storm Alpha. Note that the disambiguation page also covers Subtropical Storm Alfa from 1975. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:40, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did Alpha briefly become tropical?[edit]

I’ve been wondering, probably not though. Dougworld99 (talk) 01:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dougworld99: Do you have a reliable source indicating that it did become fully tropical? TornadoLGS (talk) 01:37, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, just asking. Dougworld99 (talk) 02:32, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dougworld99:Without a source, there is no rationale for mentioning the possibility of this being a tropical storm, and talk pages are not a forum to discuss meteorology. TornadoLGS (talk) 18:10, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, the Alpha TCR mentions nothing about it becoming fully tropical during its lifetime. Drdpw (talk) 21:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alpha[edit]

Alpha was upgraded to 60kt on Feb 2021 TalephG (talk) 21:13, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The 60kt wind speed occurred while the system was still extratropical. Its peak wind speed while a subtropical system was 45kt. Drdpw (talk) 21:28, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is pretty well-written. Most of the remaining issues are largely grammar and wording issues. I've taken care of the problems with the references. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 20:33, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

These are all of the issues that I have found. The article is pretty well-done, but there are still a handful of (mostly minor) issues that need to be corrected. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 20:33, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1941 cyclone[edit]

There was a famous cyclone in the history of our country which was incredibly destructive, but there is no english version for this article. I'm not a climate scientist. I have no idea what a subtropical storm is and how it differs from a winter cyclone. Should this one be mentioned? https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciclone_de_1941 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8A0:70D2:6C00:6DD3:54E6:690D:821C (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. That was an extratropical cyclone, while records of this storm pertain to subtropical and tropical cyclones. TornadoLGS (talk) 21:12, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
