Combination of CPAC and EPAC

[edit]

Why aren't the Central Pacific and Eastern Pacific separate articles each season? It seems from other articles that basins are being defined according to the WMO and not ATCF. I realize that there has been little to no activity in the former for several years ongoing now, however to maintain consistency, each should be separated at some point moving forward.

Because they are combined into the same best track, and a lot of the storms in the CPAC originate in the EPAC. It's along the lines of the Australian basin having the Indonesian sub-basin. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TriWX I started a discussion on this topic last year but the consensus remains against combining the two. JayTee⛈️ 23:41, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Satellite image of the four storms

[edit]

I imagine at some point we'll add this, so I'm requesting it now - can someone upload a decent image showing the four active tropical storms? Apparently it's the first time since 1974 that there were four simultaneous storms in the EPAC. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Point of information, 2018 Pacific hurricane season had four tropical cyclones active on August 7: Hector, Kristy, John, and Ileana.[1]
Also, use the new colours, please. ZZZ'S 18:39, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What new colours? I'm talking like a satellite image. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:45, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. I thought you were referring to the summary map. Please disregard my previous request. ZZZ'S 18:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Found this image on WM Commons but I don't quite know if anyone captured the four together. JayTee⛈️ 03:39, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, got the image from NASA Worldview. JayTee⛈️ 03:55, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for adding! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
