Future Bolaven

@Jason Rees: I guess if the next storm (Bolaven) develops before Jan 1, though the JMA upgraded the system to a TS (w a designation of 1801), it might be considered part of the 2017 season? This won't be the first time as we had Alice in 1978/79 and we could add in a note as well. It's too early to say so but if this does happen, then yea. Typhoon2013 (talk) 01:21, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

For our purposes, we would consider it a tropical depression in 2017 and a tropical storm in 2018, however, the JMA would just consider it a part of the 2018 season. The same nearly happened with Raquel but after checking through the data, they realised that it was a TC in both years (just).Jason Rees (talk) 01:26, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

@Jason Rees: Well if that was the case, should the storm develop on Dec 31, then the 2018 season pretty much hasn't started yet? Despite it was named in the new year, but formed in the previous year? Typhoon2013 (talk) 05:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

In My opinion, if JMA give the name “Bolaven” (1801), the 2018 season started on the day which the storm was named by JMA.

Hmm, I am personally wondering if we cant get away with saying that the 2018 PTS started on December 30, since the initial TD developed on Dec 30. This is because the typhoon season doesn't really have any boundaries start or end.Jason Rees (talk) 18:20, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

You could get away with it because 01W and Agaton were not designated until January 1 due to the time zone that they are in. So technically, as done with other seasons in the past, 01W is considered the "First storm formed" section on the infobox, which as said earlier, was not designated until January 1.

Since Bolaven is in the "Other Systems" sections in the 2017 season page, I think there is probably no need to change it. Barbiebikinis (talk) 02:54, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

RSMC Tropical Cyclone Prognostic Reasoning

Since 2018, the Japan Meteorological Agency started to release complete Tropical Cyclone Prognostic Reasonings. There is not “nothing particular to explain” anymore! 🐱💬 14:03, 2 January 2018 (UTC) @Keith Edkins: Can you add this vital bulletin to your archiver please.Jason Rees (talk) 15:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, I only just noticed this request. I have added the complete set of Prognostic Reasonings for Jelawat, and will include them in future.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 20:51, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Bolaven is still active

@Typhoon2017, H.V.T Pro, and 위키광역시: Bolaven is still active as of this edit. Please use |the JMA weather maps for more information, as it still states that Bolaven is still active. Thanks.Typhoon2013 (talk) 11:10, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Ok! --위키광역시 (talk) 11:15, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Storm Intensities

Is Jelawat now a typhoon? HurricaneCalebN (talk) 23:34, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

You can see here that the JMA's latest advisory still had Jelawat as a severe tropical storm. As stated previously, we use the official warning center for the basin (in this case, the JMA). — Iunetalk 23:39, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you lune. HurricaneCalebN (talk) 23:41, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

I guess Jelawat isn't an official typhoon yet then? If so, sorry. HurricaneCalebN (talk) 22:52, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

935hPa from China Meteorological Administration at 30March2018 0600z warning.

Lagging Floater Imagery

The floater Imagery seems to be lacking on every website I know of. The Real-Time Imagery to the Regular Floaters, they all seem to be lagging. Now that Jelawat is a typhoon, it's hard to get Imagery for it that is present. HurricaneCalebN (talk) 12:49, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Nevermind, they are catching up. Case closed. HurricaneCalebN (talk) 15:08, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Caleb HurricaneCalebN (talk) 15:08, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Jelawat is still active...

@MarioProtIV: Similar to my message above for Bolaven, just to note that as of this edit, 03Z 2/4, Jelawat is still considered active as per the JMA Weather maps. Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:08, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

It is shown not only on the weather map but high seas advisory. Editors need to respect each RSMC or TCWC. 🐱💬 04:45, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
