Comments
- The first sentence of the article is to be restructured for grammar. For example, "The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season was the fourth consecutive above average and damaging season since 2016."
- The second sentence is confusing and could be split for readability.
- The facts that 2019 was the fourth consecutive season with C5s and the seventh with multiple C5s could be moved to the first paragraph.
- Several storms (Fernand, Imelda etc.) do not have "Tropical Storm" mentioned before them; I feel it should be mentioned.
- "beating Hurricane Vince in 2005" --> "beating 2005's Hurricane Vince"
- There's lots of overlinking which I think I'll clean up with AWB.
"On May 23, NOAA released its first prediction" (not their). Same follows for most of the "Seasonal predictions" section.- "However, tropical cyclogenesis ceased again for a month [...]" - however could be replaced with "thereafter"
"Aside from Rebekah existing into November": change to "persisting".
More to come shortly. JavaHurricane 06:42, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Here are some more:
- "By 12:00 UTC on May 21, the cyclone degenerated into a remnant low after convection diminished." - "had degenerated".
- "Barry caused one fatality, with a man killed by a rip current off the coast of the Florida Panhandle on July 15." - Remove the comma and change to "when a man was killed by a rip current".
- "Widespread, but minor wind damage [...]": excise the comma.
- "so six hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Chantal." so --> and. You could also remove the so and start a new sentence there.
- If available, provide a relationship between the cold front and Chantal's precursor.
I will post more as I go ahead. So far I have checked Dorian and Erin and found nothing to change there. JavaHurricane 06:49, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
Part 3
- Per MOS:NUM, all single digit numbers should be written in words
- I'm not seeing any instances of this except where it's necessary for consistency purposes (e.g. I believe "predicting 13 named storms, 7 hurricanes, 3 major hurricanes" is acceptable) --12george1 (talk) 19:55, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- There was a bit of back-and-forth editing on the article over this point (§Notes and exceptions states that]
Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently
. Like 12george1, I contend that the numbers of tropical cyclones, particularly in the section §Pre-season outlooks, are comparable values and should be written in a uniform manner, i.e. all spelled out or all in numeral form. TheAustinMan(Talk ⬩ Edits) 18:29, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- "The nascent cyclone tracked northwest in an environment of moderate southwesterly wind shear and dry mid-level air, but it nonetheless intensified into Tropical Storm Gabrielle six hours after genesis." - "Though the nascent tropical cyclone.... it intensified into TS Gabrielle..."
- "where Hurricane Dorian caused devastation two weeks prior." --> "where Dorian had caused..."
- "Humberto's large size contributed to choppy seas along the East Coast of the United States for several days;" - if there was no other factor which caused the rough seas, "contributed" could be changed to "caused".
- "despite the NHC highlighting a low chance of tropical cyclone development." - "Highlighting" should be changed to "estimating".
- "The remnants of Imelda drifted from southeastern Texas into southeastern Oklahoma over subsequent days before dissipating." I think this should be changed to "The remnants of Imelda drifted over TX and OK for several days before dissipating."
No troubles as of Imelda/Jerry otherwise. JavaHurricane 17:03, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- "Lorenzo slowly weakened as it passed the Azores and its windfield expanded the storm began an extratropical transition." Bad sentence construction.
- Since you mentioned that Lorenzo became an EX near the Azores, there is no reason to mention that Lorenzo impacted the British Isles as an EX.
- "Search and recovery operations led to the rescue of three people, though four bodies were found and the other seven people were presumed to have drowned." Change to "Three people were rescued due to search and rescue operations, while four bodies were found; the other seven people were presumed to have drowned."
- "with its origins from the tail-end of a cold front across the southwestern Atlantic on October 6,": change to "which originated from the tail-end of a cold front across the SW Atl on October 6,"
- "The post-tropical low degenerated to a trough a few hours later.": to --> into
- "twister" in Nestor's section should be changed to "tornado" as I doubt "twister" is encyclopaediac.
- "farther east than any other," - any other Atlantic hurricane
- "breaking Hurricane Vince of 2005's record of 18.9°W": change to "breaking 2005's Hurricane Vince's record of 18.9W"
- "The remnants of the cyclone struck central Louisiana about seven hours later and continued across the Eastern United States and into Ontario, where it dissipated on October 28." subject verb agreement: "where they dissipated".
- Was the WMO committee meeting postponed or cancelled?
- Cancelled. Per the source: "The WMO committee usually holds a weeklong meeting every spring, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year's meeting was canceled several weeks ago,"--12george1 (talk) 03:21, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- In the season summary table, there is no gap between the number and the unit in Fernand's damage.
And that's it. JavaHurricane 04:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- @JavaHurricane: I wasn't aware that these comments were here until now because I became busy with stuff irl. But anyway, I am done now. Thanks for the review!--12george1 (talk) 03:21, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
