Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. In more detail, please stop misusing the edit request system. It's for editors that lack the technical ability to edit a page due to permissions (or sanctions). If there's a mere content dispute, you need to resolve it with the other editors involved through normal discussion. If that fails, you can try dispute resolution or an WP:RFC, but do not keep opening edit requests. Deacon Vorbis (carbon  videos) 15:35, 17 May 2026 (UTC)Reply


Information icon Hi StormL00ver! I noticed that you've made several edits in order to restore a version of Tornadoes of 2026. The impulse to repeatedly undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure that you're aware of Wikipedia's edit warring policy. Repeatedly undoing the changes made by other users in a back-and-forth fashion like this is disallowed, even if you feel what you're doing is justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages in order to try to reach a consensus with the other editors involved. If you are unable to come to an agreement at Talk:Tornadoes of 2026, please use one of the dispute resolution options that are available in order to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of repeatedly reverting other editors' changes can help you avoid getting drawn into edit wars. Thank you. Mesocyclonic93 (t)(c) 19:02, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the reminder regarding the edit warring policy. I am well aware of the 3RR rules and the importance of consensus. However, consensus on Wikipedia must be built on verifiable, reliable sources, not on personal preferences.
I have already laid out the official ESSL and ESWD meteorological data on the article talk page, which confirms the 180 mph baseline intensity for this specific event. Blanking or repeatedly removing heavily sourced official data without addressing the core scientific evidence on the Talk page is disruptive.
I welcome a policy-compliant discussion at Talk:Tornadoes of 2026 to reach a factual consensus based on the actual meteorological reports, rather than edit warring. Let's keep the discussion there. Thanks." StormL00ver (talk) 19:08, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Request Regarding Akçamezra Tornado Article

[edit]

Hi! I just am replying to your request for me to have a look at your Akçamezra Tornado article. It looks really good! The only thing I would consider changing is the scope of the article. I know it is ambitious, but I would actually consider changing the article to cover the entire outbreak. The outbreak produced numerous strong tornadoes and was highly historic and unusual, and I think it is article worthy as a whole. If I were you I would keep the long summary you wrote for the Akçamezra Tornado, and include it as a full summary for the most significant tornado of the outbreak at the bottom of the page, but also include a tornado table of all the other tornadoes in the outbreak. Now that is just my opinion, and obviously it would be a lot of work and you don't have to do it, but there aren't enough international tornado outbreak articles on Wikipedia and you would be setting a really good precedent! Just my two cents :) TornadoInformation12 (talk) 07:24, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

The Monthly Wiki-Weather Review - Issue 1 (September 1, 2026)

[edit]

Volume I, Issue 1, September 1, 2026
←(Previous issues) · 1 · 2

The Monthly Wiki-Weather Review

This is the first edition for what will hopefully be a monthly newsletter involving Wikipedia's weather articles, including the severe weather and tropical cyclones projects. The newsletter aims to provide in summary the recent activities and developments of the WikiProject. If you wish to receive or discontinue your subscription to this newsletter, please visit the mailing list. Past editions can be viewed here.

Development, Reminders, and Updates

Series of weather topics that need expansion The following articles are the earliest in a series of lists/articles, and including the gap going back to the previous entry in the series. These are articles that need to be written.

Of note, the yearly "Weather of YYYY" could be a useful parent article for every weather article. For a well-written (and well-sourced) example, see this timeline in the Weather of 2023 article.

Image of the month

Devastating floods, possibly caused by a glacial collapse, hit the China–Nepal border on August 26. These floods destroyed numerous settlements and killed over 1,000 people (with thousands still missing). The above image is a Landsat 9 view of debris flow from the floods.

Selected new articles

The following articles were written/published this year. It excludes any of sub-articles within Weather of 2026.

Tropical cyclone Merge-a-thon

Longtime editors and lurkers might have noticed an uptick in the number of article mergers this year. A discussion in December 2025 talked about articles for fish storms or were otherwise had minor impacts. As Hurricane Noah summarized, "if a storm isn't being discussed after the fact for meteorological notability and impacts were minor or nil, there shouldn't be an article. Since then, 8 featured articles and 76 good articles have been merged. In a recent AFD, Quxyz mentioned their own minimum threshold for a tropical cyclone article (1,000 words and 20,000 bytes).

Help requested for specific topics

There are a few ongoing projects that are needed in Wiki-Project weather, separate from any requested articles.

  • After years of discussion on standardizing the colors for tropical cyclone tracks, there is an ongoing project to replace the roughly 2,200 track maps across the hundreds of storm/season articles. One of the members helping with the track maps, 2003 LN6 (talk · contribs), estimated that "about 15–20% of the historic track maps are recolored properly, but progress is being made. I have personally been working on the North Atlantic tracks, but I have observed the work of many others as well."
    Another member working on older Atlantic and season track maps, JasonHo1222 (talk · contribs), asked, "can I be quoted in the newsletter too?" Thanks to 2003 LN6, JasonHo1222, and all of the other users helping with this task.
  • The tropical cyclone season button bars have outdated coding that should ideally be replaced. The talk page goes into detail, but basically swapping out two parts of the template ("List of storms" and "Statistics" sub-articles, which we don't have anymore) in favor of the yearly "Weather of YYYY" and "Tropical cyclones in YYYY" articles.
  • List of tropical cyclones producing snow - inspired by the recent Hurricane Lala that produced snowfall in Hawaii, there is a consensus that such an article could be useful.

Comments or suggestions? This is the first of what will hopefully be a long-running newsletter. If you have any suggestions or complaints (such as them being in a different order in the section header), click on the previous links or try the newsletter talk page.

Tornado submission request

[edit]

Hey! We both usually edit on the List of European tornadoes in 2026 page. So there were 2 tornadoes in Lithuania, an IF0 and IF1 (check out Extremalus orai Lietuvoje on TikTok for more info on them, he got a ton of info on the tornadoes), and I was wondering if you could add them onto the ESWD database? (They both occured on September 10th) I also know they aren't related to a squall or downbursts so it's very clear this was a tornado. No images of the tornado have surfaced and I believe there arent any at all, but we have damage footage. Thanks in advance. Hjalpingers (talk) 13:19, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Also I realized that I can't make QC0+ outside of Turkey so even if I make these reports it will take a while for them to come ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 18:15, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Time dosent mattera at this point because, now not only if someone tries deleting the events because they're not on ESWD you can serve as proof, but technically now a part of the guidelines are now completely useless since most events get added in a few days after. Oh and btw, any updates on the May 2026 tornado upgrade? Hjalpingers (talk) 18:43, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
I am still waiting for a response from the Quality Control Team ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 18:49, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
good to hear, im guessing this will end up being an IF4, but now im thinking how we will change the little graph? it dosent let you change it to IF4 because apparently it dosent recognize it so we will need to figure out something Hjalpingers (talk) 18:51, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
yo the IF1.5 was in Gruzdziai not Veivirzenai, Hjalpingers (talk) 08:13, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
wait no, tornado did do IF1.5 damage, the time was incorrect tho it's around 7am and the other was 8:20 it's just set at UTC Hjalpingers (talk) 08:15, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Alright so update: Veiverzienai was indeed IF2, background matches up with memory from yesterday as i was in a town so close to where the tornado occurred and the Siauliai is likely IF0.5 Hjalpingers (talk) 09:00, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
So which one is the IF1.5,IF2 or IF0.5 I might need to delete my report ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 13:07, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
IF1.5/IF2 is the one in Veiverzienai, the IF0.5 (possible IF1) is in Gruzdziai Hjalpingers (talk) 13:33, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Veiverzienai is the one in Klaipeda County the Gruzdziai is the one in Siauliai County Hjalpingers (talk) 13:33, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
What is the IF2 source? I mean the damage indicates an IF1.5 strength ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 15:13, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
in one bit of the ESWD page on that tornado it mentions something about the IF2 rating in the very bottom, and i did also mention that the rating is uncertain incase if it wasn't the actual rating aswell Hjalpingers (talk) 15:26, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Alright I checked ESWD, a damage indicator says that the damage indicator of max IF scale rating is IF2 which i believe means that basically IF2 damages occured. Proof: Hjalpingers (talk) 15:30, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
While the Damage Indicator of Max IF field indicates localized IF2 damage, the overall official rating in ESWD is IF1.5 (currently at QC0 unverified status).
According to Wikipedia standards, we should keep the tornado as an IF1.5 (noting it is QC0) and mention the IF2 max indicator in the text. ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 15:38, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Also it says IF-Scale rating has high uncertainty ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 15:38, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yeah and it also is noted that in the original video it says it's an IF1.5 so its also something to note Hjalpingers (talk) 15:41, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hey, news show that the Veiviržėnai tornado was actually an IF0.5, and the Gruzdžiai tornado was an IF1.5, so im basically saying you switched out the ratings for one another Hjalpingers (talk) 16:55, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
wait really? ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 17:06, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
yep. i got word from the TikTok poster himself, oh and btw, can you get the ESWD team to maybe check on southwest Plungė in Telšiai County? There's a very visible possible hook echo full of rain where a rain-wrapped tornado couldve snapped trees and went un noticed for all this time. Oh and i think another tornado couldve occured just east of Klaipėda, more closer to Dovilai, i think there was a severe thunderstorm there because overall my radar is showing that it's the worst of every single one. Thanks in advance if one or two actually do become tornadic events. Hjalpingers (talk) 17:22, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Could you give me some sources or images to work with this possible tornado? ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 17:23, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
lemme send them in rq (this message will contain them because im not sending 2 messages with time diffrences) images: Hjalpingers (talk) 17:27, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Radar imagery is very low quality so I don't think it will be possible to add this as a tornado ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 03:22, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
There is definitely some kind of spin tho ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 03:23, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, especially in Plungė, there def is a hook echo there Hjalpingers (talk) 06:16, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hey dude, noticed the deleted event, so in case if it's not already being checked by quality control, here is everything i have from the tornado.
Date: September 10th 2026 at 5:25am UTC or 7:25am EEST, southeast of Veiviržėnai, rating is IF0.5, but a local said it was exactly like an IF1 that struck a tiny town nearby in 2022, so keep that in note, meteorologists also said it was like a very weak IF0, damages are farming equipment and backyard damage to a house, and no one was injured. Radar and damages are available but no tornado image has surfaced. Hjalpingers (talk) 11:30, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
so was there 2 tornadoes or 1 ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 15:09, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
wait never mind, both tornadoes are already in eswd Hjalpingers (talk) 15:11, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yeah I noticed it.Sorry for not being able to help much with this tornadoes... ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 15:21, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Also I found a radar archive could you please tell me when did this rain-wrapped tornado hapened? ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 15:28, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Around 6:25/6:30am on September 10th, just try and search for a Japan shaped storm that extends from Telšiai to Plungė and you'll find it. Hjalpingers (talk) 18:51, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
It's cuz i screenshotted it from desktop mode, just find a meteologix archive player and go to Klaipėda and you'll find them Hjalpingers (talk) 06:15, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Alright, but i am gonna guess (probably won't happen) but im guessing that eventually this tornado will be seen, observed and will probably get an upgraded confirmed IF2 rating and a QC0+/QC1 status rating Hjalpingers (talk) 15:43, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

ESWD stuff

[edit]

hey, i submitted a request to ESWD to upload events and access events. if you even can, can you please approve it? 🙏 thanks in advance, cuz im gonna add events for 2021 and 2022 to add and maybe upload in missing events. Hjalpingers (talk) 11:14, 23 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

I will try to accept it bıt if I can't do it I could send you the reports that are in ESWD ⚡ StormL00ver ⚡ 12:36, 23 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
yeah but, i could also add events without needing to wait for the event to pop up after asking you, + if i find any damage stuff or more links i can add them myself. it's a bit more convenient and it's also nice. im also thinking that I can add them to a notes app so i can quickly add events.
