02W decided to became a Tropical Storm, and received the name Sanba. Gita is also nearly a Cat 5 on the Australian Scale...
Category 5 on the AU Scale now. Cat 4 on the SSHWS.
Apparently I’m a fan of I-69.  Who knew.

Notice the Australian scale has no "tropical storm" designation, instead using category 1 tropical cyclone already when a system reaches gale force. I refer to (AU) categories 1 and 2 together as "tropical storm", only changing to "tropical cyclone" once they reach category 3 (i.e. hurricane force). Now I think, the SSHWS doesn't have a "strong tropical storm" category like the rest of the World.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

I consider 60 mph to 73 mph as strong TS on my personal modified SSHWS. Only other changes: CAT 5 is 155-176. CAT 6: 177-199. CAT 7: 200+

Still unnamed, ergo still a tropical depression (or "tropical low" as they call them in Oz), not interesting for me. FYI this is tropical low 17U.

Now named: Tropical storm Kelvin. Add 273.15 and you have TS Celsius. If you then multiply by 1.8 and substract 32, you'll obtain TS Fahrenheit.

And he did the impossible, intensifying to 90 mph over land!

TS Julia (2016) can relate to that for forming on land.

#284
We could have the strongest storm (by pressure) ever recorded in the Southwest Indian this weekend, and next week. HWRF model predicting a 878!!! millibar storm. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=hwrf-p&region=94S&pkg=mslp_wind&runtime=2018022812&fh=6 That’s lower than any storm in 2017! GFS predicts 896 https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=hwrf-p&region=94S&pkg=mslp_wind&runtime=2018022812&fh=6. If this verifies, oh my. Lowest ever was Gafilo with 895.

Edit: If HWRF-P model verifies, it’s the lowest in the S Hem on record, surpassing 2016’s Cyclone Winston with 885.

Models usually go really crazy. I remember once GFS formed a tropical "anticyclone" that crossed the equator, and then bombed the same cyclone to 871 mbar. In the end Typhoon Tembin (a.k.a. Vinta in the Philippines) only reached category 1.

Tropical Storm Dumazile now active. This is the one the HWRF predicted to be a 878 mbar storm (now it predicts a 911 mbar one, less insane).

BTW, this tweet is all wrong:
https://twitter.com/philklotzbach/status/969676159750303744

Tropical cyclones aren't named until they actually have a name and not just a serial number (Captain Obvious). Also, now that is named, Dumazile is not the 11th named storm of the Southern hemisphere, but the 12th, a byproduct of the JTWC missing the very first named storm of the season (Cempaka) and those blind people who don't look further.

And then Hola decides "I want to rapidly intensify too."

It will be an oxymoron when Hola (Spanish for hello) dissipates or goes extratropical :sombrero:.

That's funny, never knew that. Cat 4 on the AU scale, yet JTWC is taking 50 years recognizing it as a Cat 2 on the SSHWS, still by them, only a minimal Cat 1 with 65 kt (75 mph)

Fun fact: in 2015 there was a Cyclone Ola in the same area. In Spanish "Ola" is homophone with "Hola" (the H is always silent except when preceded by a C).

When it formed near the Australian coast I knew (it was already forecast anyway) Marcus would get to strenghten a bit once it moved away, just not to 140 mph (10 min).
