Hi! I'm Cyclone Editor. My name says it all. I will be editing information about tropical cyclones in real-time and occasionally past storms, as well.

About me[edit]

Favorite basins[edit]

  1. West Pacific - you can never go wrong with the West Pacific. After all, it is known as the king of basins as it usually dominates the tropics in terms of activity.
  2. North Atlantic - there's just something fascinating about the Atlantic. Not usually as active (though that's a given lol) as the West Pacific but it's a fun basin to track, nonetheless.
  3. Southwest Indian Ocean - not as active as NHEM (except its northern counterpart) basins in general but it is usually the most active SHEM basin. Also very interesting because it doesn't really have any problem putting our a strong and out-to-sea cyclone, which is a bonus (You never want a strong cyclone to hit land). But it has a harder time spitting very strong Category 5s.
  4. North Indian Ocean - least active NHEM basin, really. Still, it can occasionally produce very strong cyclones. Unfortunately, strong cyclones will almost always make landfall.
  5. South Pacific - same reasoning like the NIO. Generally least active SHEM basin. However, while it does produce disorganized, monsoonal cyclones like no other basin, it also has no problem putting out very strong cyclones if conditions are right.
  6. East Pacific - including CPAC here which is probably a waste of water, if in all honesty. Now this would be weird cause EPAC is usually above average as well as consistent with activity but there's just something weird about tracking storms in the basin. They all usually follow typical tracks like it either hits Mexico, goes westward, or whatnot. Also usually has that same, boring climatology. EPAC is generally the most affected basin from ENSO as it is situated over there.
  7. Australian Region - storms here usually waste their time that could've generally been used for consolidation despite favorable conditions. Gets mostly tropical cyclones. However, I do give props to the BOM for their strict naming criteria.
