also, as i’ve been gone from wikipedia between late 2021 and mid 2023, ive probably missed a lot of new policies and stuff like that. for example i really didn’t know that adding tracks instead of paths in tc pages was not allowed </3
About me
I’m interested in weather (esp. tropical cyclones) and have been since i was 4. I want to be a meteorologist in the future but it’s quite hard to do that where i live, and my knowledge of weather is still quite surface-level.
I’ve been editing on Wikipedia since 2019 on another account (Hi 280228) (yes the username is very creative i know). I eventually lost that account in Feb 2020 and created this one. I remained active for about a year before I quit due to lack of interest in editing and weather in general (I would still check on pages sometimes). Sometime in the summer of 2023, my interest for editing and weather was suddenly reinvigorated for some reason and I returned here. I’ve been editing at an inconsistent pace since, but mostly on minor fixes and updates.

info about the unofficial cyclones
March 2020
An extratropical cyclone formed off the coast of Brazil on March 4. [1] It became disconnected with its fronts on the next day [2] and gained a mid-level eye. The system also had spiral bands and organized convection. I'm a bit unsure about whether this was actually a (sub)tropical storm because I can't really prove it but I'll put it here for the record.
Date: March 5-7, 2020
max winds: 85 km/h (50 mph)
min pressure: 1000 hPa
coldest cloud tops: -57C

January 2021 (STS Chalane)
The remnants of Severe Tropical Storm Chalane entered the South Atlantic on January 3. This was definitely not a tropical cyclone but I'm including it here because why not. It organized somewhat and looked kinda okay on satellite on January 5 but it ultimately dissipated quickly after that.
Date: January 3-6, 2021
max winds: 35 km/h (25 mph)
min pressure: unknown
coldest cloud tops: -14C
March 2021
A weak low pressure system formed on March 10. It deepened and may have been a subtropical cyclone between March 11 to March 14. It had a decent spiral structure and had no fronts attached to it, but it's unclear whether it had a warm core.
Date: March 11-14, 2021
max winds: 65 km/h (40 mph)
min pressure: 1002 hPa
