Talk:Cyclone Chido

Chido actually was Very intense Tropical Cyclone

According to AccuWeather, Chido had became a Category 5 (Southwest Indian-wise) Around 12 PM 73.245.182.199 (talk) 17:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. When the MFR's best track gets out, it'll likely be upgraded. (They often do that) IAmMrE (talk) 19:59, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article currently states "10-minute maximum sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph) as it maintained its small size and moved westwards.[16]" but that source https://wiki.chlod.net/jtwc/prog/2024-12-12-0910-sh0425prog.txt doesn't seem to mention[] 215, 130, or 116 knots. Anyone have a source for 215 km/h? -- Jeandré (talk) 2025-01-14 13:07z

Turns out there's a template rounding the calculation to nearest 5, and it's actually 110 knots. The source has "CIMSS D-PRINT: 110 KTS AT 120600Z", but D-PRINT can be for 1-minute or 10-minute max sustained and the source doesn't seem to indicate which. (Without rounding, 110 knots = 203.72 km/h, so less than "Very"'s 115 knots minimum.)
Anyone have a source for 110 knots 10-minutes sustained? -- Jeandré (talk) 2025-01-14 13:31z
Operationally RSMC La Reunion estimated that Chido had peaked with 10-minute sustained winds of 115 knots, which made it an intense tropical cyclone because they didn't estimate winds of over 115kts.Jason Rees (talk) 13:42, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeandré du Toit: MFR stated that Childo made landfall with 10-minute winds of 205 km/h (125 mph),according to the bulletin. These estimates are included in ref 20. HurricaneEdgar 06:46, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Section title

I don't wanna get into an edit war with Zzzs, but I believe the section in the impact section should be "Mayotte and Comoros", not "Comoro Islands". I get that's the name of the archipelago, but most of the impacts were on Mayotte, which is not a part of the country of the Comoros. Further, the impacts in the rest of the Comoros were minor, while Mayotte's effects made worldwide news, even causing the French president to go visit. I think it should be moved back, but I figured let's have a discussion. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that sections should not be renamed to wordier, detailed titles because a region was affected more than the other. I'd support either keeping the title or splitting Comoros into its own section. ZZZ'S 19:25, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Comoros barely had any impacts though, and it's only a three word title, shorter than anytime WPAC articles affect "Federated States of Micronesia". Plus, Mayotte is receiving a ton of international attention. There isn't another local place for Comoros to go, since it's part of the archipelago, but Mayotte really should be in the section title. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, i think its obvious that people will be looking for the impacts on Mayotte and will not necessarily realise that Mayotte is a part of the Comoro Islands. As a result, it's probably better to keep it as Mayotte and Comoros even though it's slightly wordier.Jason Rees (talk) 00:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
