List of Asian tornadoes in 2026 Development, Reminders, and Updates TBD Image of the month - TBD but Choi-wan is here just because Choi-wan became the second-strongest recorded Pacific hurricane on September 22, when Typhoon Hunters recorded a minimum central pressure of 915 mbar (27.0 inHg). Choi-wan attained Category 5 status one time before weakening and striking northwestern Mexico zero times. Tasks/projects from previous newsletter - Issue 1 had a section for the series of weather articles. This included seasons or weather events by year, such as from Weather of 1946 to 1985 and from 1985 to 2000. Other ongoing tasks include updating tropical cyclone track maps, button bar templates, and changing the coding for the season infobox template to allow for violent typhoons. Tropical cyclones in XXXX: The Series TBD A more complete weather encyclopedia Although Wikipedia isn't specifically a weather encyclopedia, it fulfills that role to an extent. The "List of [weather events] by area" series is getting finished one by one, even if there are still a lot to go. The following areas are among the most complete: United States (6) - Droughts, Floods, Hurricanes , Tornadoes, Snow, Wildfires California (4) - Hurricanes , Floods, Tornadoes , and Wildfires Arizona (3) - Hurricanes , Tornadoes, Wildfires Australia (5) - Bushfires, Droughts, Floods, Tornadoes, Tropical cyclones Canada (4) - Fires, Floods, Hurricanes, Tornadoes Europe (4) - European windstorms, Floods, Tornadoes, Tropical cyclones India (4) - Floods, Heat waves, Tornadoes, Tropical cyclones China (3) - Fires, Floods, Tornadoes Indonesia (3) - Floods (Jakarta only), Tornadoes, Tropical cyclones Turkey (3) - Drought, Heatwaves, Tornadoes Many areas could have a variety of lists. There's a draft for Tornadoes in Florida, which, if published, would join the above list. There is also a draft for Snow in Texas, which would also add Texas to the above list, assuming you counted the dab and quasi-article that is the List of Texas hurricanes (which you could help by adding climatology, the deadliest Texas tornadoes, and a list of (E)F5 tornadoes in the state). If you're interested in working on one of the potential location-based lists of weather impacts in an area, be bold and try it (maybe starting with a draft), or ask HH for help.
