Weather cat?
editI'm looking for an article or category for bizarre weather events to place this into... CrazyC83 15:56, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
HH ref?
editIs there a source for the bit about the Hurricane Hunters investigating the storm? I find it very unlikely that the U.S. would send an aircraft all the way across the Atlantic to investigate a storm that had no chance of affecting the U.S. Perhaps it was an aircraft out of the Azores and not a true Hurricane Hunter that investigated? --Holderca1 16:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Image
editWe need to get that awesome pic on the Wunderground site that AySz88 linked to on the main talk page for the infobox. The image there now is not as good and is the same one from the main article.
E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 16:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- Done (though not in the infobox). --AySz88^-^ 03:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Merging
editI propose merging this with the main page (2005 Atlantic hurricane season). Sure, it's notable and pretty neat, but so was Hurricane Ivan in 1980, so were other storms, but this isn't notable to be its own article. What is wrong with the main page? Hurricanehink 22:04, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- I was thinking the same. But as I thought about it some more, the article is well developed and it establishes notability. It is unique in where it formed and the fact that it reached hurricane status, the fact that it landed on the Iberian etc. I would therefore oppose the merge. 12.220.47.145 23:10, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- As Hurricane Faith only did marginal damage, and as Hurricane Vince is far more noteworthy in its oddities than Faith, and as Faith has its own article, so too should Vince. --69.86.16.61 02:23, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- I guess it is noteworthy enough. OK, I'll change my mind. Hurricanehink 11:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- What? Hurricane Faith is not even in the same ballpark. Vince and others may have formed or gone unusually far north, but Faith defined it. The unimpuned circulation of Faith was tracked as far north as Franz Josef Land, just 300 miles from the North Pole! It was a tropical system into the GIUK Gap! It brought tropical storm force wind gusts to Murmansk, Russia, roughly 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle! I'm sorry, but comparing Faith to Vince is like comparing Hank Aaron to Derek Jeter. I consider Faith one of the most amazing tropical cyclones to ever exist in the Atlantic. Vince barely makes the top 10.
- Well if Vince is sitting at #10 for you, then it definitely deserves its own article. Unless you are saying only 9 Atlantic tropical cyclones in history deserve their own article. PK9 23:51, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
- I vote merge. The picture in this article should be moved to the main page though. TimL 09:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- There is quite a bit of information in the article. And its well written, I don't see the need to merge a well written article. 12.220.47.145 03:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Vince has several notable qualities attributed to it. It is a first in several of these ways too. Because of those reasons and that this article is already very informative, I would oppose a merger with the main 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season article. 68.115.4.162 18:34, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think that Vince should remain having its own article. I specifically searched Wikipedia for it.
Farthest north and east
edit- Everybody says Vince is the Farthest North and Eastern formation of any Tropical Cyclone in the Atlantic Basin. Sure, I agree with it being the farthest north, but I looked at every year on Unisys and saw plenty of Tropical Systems forming farther east than 19.1 degrees W. Here is a list:
- Hurricane #3 (1900) Longitude 18.5. A tropical Storm at the time.
- Hurricane Able (1952) Longitude 19.0. A tropical deppresion at the time.
- Tropical Storm Becky (1962) Longitude 18.8. A tropical deppression at the time.

Unlike Vince, they all moved westward, just developed early. Vince remained that far east and actually went even farther. CrazyC83 19:44, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Tropical Storm #6 went up north and stayed to the east.[1]
- The area where Vince formed, on the 150 year record of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic, is over 500 miles or so away from any other storm track. Vince existed in an area where no tropical cyclone on record had ever been before. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 03:31, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- At [2] you can see the tracks of all tropical cyclones (including depressions and subtropical) of the last 155 years. On this map Vince is certainly way off by itself (2005 storms are not pictured). However the 2005 season article claimed Vince was the farthest-north and farthest-east storm ever to reach hurricane strength. This is wrong; numerous storms (including Irene for starters) were further north. I'm pretty sure several of the storms listed there also formed further east. I believe the original NHC claim was that it was the furthest northeast for any tropical system (not hurricane) to develop...which I will believe. Jdorje 23:41, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Sure there hasn't been a storm ever to form in that area, but that's not what everyone says. They just say it's the farthest north and east formation of a storm. Wrong! Only North!
- Please sign your comments. And, I am rather doubtful that it is the farthest north a storm has ever developed, though I suppose it depends on your definition of "storm". It is certainly not the farthest north a hurricane has ever developed; it might be the farthest north a tropical storm or tropical depression has (I have no counter-examples for this yet). Jdorje 00:47, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hurricane #8 in 1991 formed became tropical at 36 degrees north. [3] I think this might have a record for furthest northeast, though. But others have it beat for north alone and east alone. --Patteroast 09:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Can't you just look in the history and write the information about when I wrote this if you care that much about it. Novemeber 16, 2005 (I don't know UTC time, New Englander here!)Ca. 5:45 PM EST

Oh. I see. Now that you said that the Halloween Storm Formed at 36N, I don't agree with north or east. Maybe the National Hurricane Center Meant NOrtheast.24.128.149.7 14:14, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Well I've found the text for the citation of "farthest north and east". It's in Dr. William Gray's review of the 2005 atlantic hurricane season at http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Forecasts/2005/nov2005/ I suppose it can be argued that those are Dr. Gray's words, not empirical evidence, but it's a source nonetheless. PK9 23:58, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah but I still don't know what "farthest north and east" means. There are three possible interpretations, and I think we've already made clear that "farthest north and farthest east" is not the correct one. Jdorje 01:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
The answer
edit- Unless someone can explain what this "record" means, I will remove it. It is sufficient to say that the hurricane formed unusually far to the northeast without making incorrect and confusing claims. Jdorje 01:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
To clarify, the problem is this. The record is supposedly that vince is the "farthest north and east any tropical cyclone has formed in the atlantic". Now, there are several issues to argue about.
- Tropical cyclone means tropical-storm strength. I suppose we can assume this means initial formation.
- Farthest north and east at first glance means "farthest north and farthest east", meaning that no cyclone formed farther north or farther east; as explained below this is certainly false. It could mean "farthest (north and east)", so that no cyclone as formed farther north *and* farther east; this record seems to hold up but it doesn't mean anything since many storms can claim this. Or it could mean "farthest northeast", which is terrible wording but does seem to be the correct record.
According to the advisories, vince formed at (-19.2, 34.0).

1855 | 2 | NOT NAMED | 2.0 |
1967 | 7 | GINGER | -0.1 |
because of the roundness of the earth, I'm not positive that latitude + longitude is the correct way to measure northeasterliness. However it does seem that vince is the farthest northeast that any storm has formed.
Jdorje 02:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Since we do have sources for this record, it should at least be noted that people say that Vince is the "farthest northeast", but also that there is uncertainty over what that means. --AySz88^-^ 03:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well, we do have a source: the best-track data. The problem is it's hard to verify the record from the source. In the above tables, I made a list (via a computer) of how far northeast every storm formed (reached ts strength), and Vince is, indeed, by far the most northeast of them. But this is still hard to verify...you can look at the best-track and see the point of formation of each storm, and by looking at a couple of storms you can convince yourself the list is correct. But verifying every one by hand would not be feasible. Jdorje 03:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- The record is this: Vince formed with latitude+longitude (i.e., "northeasterliness") of 14.8. The next closest was 1988's Ivan, at 11.0 (nearly 4 degrees off; note that a degree does not correspond to an exact distance however). The dropoff is very quick; the sixth most northeasterly storm is Ginger at -0.1, nearly a full 15 degrees to the southwest of where vince formed. Jdorje 03:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Wait, so the best track data itself is dubious?
- The "sources" I had been talking about were things like Gray's season summary, which lists Vince's northeastern-most formation, and I have to assume that someone verified the record at Dr. Gray's place. --AySz88^-^ 18:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- No, the best-track data is the most official source, although it is still just an estimate (which the NHC may revise in future through re-analysis), and the s:Atlantic hurricane best track isn't always complete since it only gives the track at 6-hour intervals. This is much more official than Gray's season summary, since (1) he could easily have made a mistake and (2) the best-track may be revised in future, which would potentially change the records (although unlikely in this case since the record is set by a huge margin). — jdorje (talk) 18:44, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- In particular on point (2), Gray's summary was written before the Vince TCR comes out. The TCR will of course include Vince's best-track, which is more accurate than the advisory data. — jdorje (talk) 18:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Map
editNow that we have all this data, why don't we just compile it into a map with the various positions? That would make a great visual assistance to these abstract coordinates, and drive the nail home. Circeus 19:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Annular hurricane?
editLooking at the image of Vince, it looks the type of hurricane described by Annular hurricane. Is this possible? Reub2000 11:53, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- I doubt it, the eyewall isn't complete enough. It reminds me more of Cyclone Catarina. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 15:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Split infinitive question
editThe NHC had decided not to declare the system a tropical cyclone because the water temperature was too low for one to normally develop. Is the meaning here that it was too cold to develop in a normal fashion or that it was colder than the temperatures in which a storm normally would develop. I'm guessing the latter, but can anyone verify this? Thanks. Rockhopper10r 23:47, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- While Vince did get off to a subtropical start, the transition to tropical cyclone shortly thereafter makes me think that the development of Vince was fairly normal. But with hurricanes, normal is somewhat relative. I'd say the latter option. 68.115.4.162 22:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Todo
editFind more information of substance, and clarify or remove the "farthest north and east" record. Jdorje 21:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- There's some information that may clarify Vince's unusual formation: [4]. Good kitty 04:31, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Smallest Hurricane??
editIs it true that Vince was the smallest hurricane on record? Fishhead|§ 22:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- Extremely unlikely. What's your source? — jdorje (talk) 22:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't TC Tracy the smallest? Icelandic Hurricane 21:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Tracy was a Typhoon,not a Hurricane. Circeus 21:10, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't TC Tracy the smallest? Icelandic Hurricane 21:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Technically it was a cyclone, but when you say smallest hurricane, most people assume you mean tropical cyclone. Hurricanehink 21:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Alberto 88 furthest north?
editIt mentions that Alberto from 1988 formed further north than Vince, but from what I can tell from the 1988 Atlantic hurricane season article, it didn't. I don't know which Alberto that is supposed to talk about, but someone needs to fix it. Jamie|C 22:05, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Alberto became a tropical storm further north than Vince. That's probably it. Hurricanehink 22:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- The table several pages up lists the farthest-north-forming storms. There are a large number of storms that formed (reached TS strength) further north than vince. Alberto is the farthest-north-forming one since 1860. — jdorje (talk) 23:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
The Spanish Armada Hurricane?
editApparently, there was a hurricane on record in 1588 that hit the Spanish Armada, which would definetly make it the northernmost hurricane ever since the Armada at the time was slightly northwest of Ireland. The referr about the hurricane is here. Scroll down to 2.6, the return to spain.The Spanish Armada Hurricane
- There is no evidence that that was a hurricane. It is more likely it was an extratropical storm (e.g., Hurricane Maria) or a so-called European windstorm. Additionally, Vince was not the northernmost hurricane, so this discussion isn't really relevant. Tropical storms have struck Ireland before but they don't form there. — jdorje (talk) 02:26, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- But theres no evidence that it was an extratropical storm ether, since it occured in 1588, it possbile to be a freak-late season hurricane that strayed off its course. Storm05 14:57, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Uh, climatology is probably the biggest evidence. Given that no storm was there in recorded history is probably a big hint. It probably was a simple extratropical storm. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:06, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Climatology recordes did not exist in 1588 (and any climatology records before the modern age are specutive) and you cant that there was no storm in recorded history because it happened in 1588 before people even track (and any records at that time might have been lost over time) and it occured in late July or early August which is possbily that this storm might have been a cape verde type hurricane that became extratropical. Storm05 17:02, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with you on the last part. It could have once been a hurricane that became extratropical. However, I doubt, looking at the climatology of the last 150 years, that a tropical system could exist in the English Channel. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- I think it really unlikely that this was a tropical system at the time it struck the Spanish, (not in the Channel Hink, but further north near Ireland), but that does not mean it wasn't tropical in origin. We are talking about 1588 here, which was near the start of the Little Ice Age, I would suspect northern waters to be slightly colder than is presently the case. A source from the period calling it a hurricane in no way implies it was a tropical cyclone, it only suggests hurricane strength winds were present. Another example is the Great Storm of 1987 which was commonly called a "hurricane"; it was quite clearly non-tropical, though it did produce hurricane-force gusts.--Nilfanion (talk) 17:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Update Tag
editWhy was the update tag added to this article? The last paragraph of the storm history summarizes the TCR. TimL 21:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- I added it because glancing at the storm history has many numbers that are incorrect based on the TCR. All that's needed is a review of the storm history, comparing to the TCR info. — jdorje (talk) 21:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see what you are talking about and am removing the tag. TimL 04:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- For starters, it doesn't even mention how, or when, the storm actually formed. I reverted it to put it back up. Hurricanehink 12:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Ineresting Radar Image
editI uploaded an interesting radar image from the TCR which shows the cyclonic circulation of vince just off the coast of Portugal. Anyone think it should go in the article? TimL 18:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, just saw it. I added it in. Hurricanehink 23:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Todo2
editRewriting this one was nasty, the storm history was awful as it stood; in my biased opinion it is much better now. I think that (the thumbnail of) the radar pic should be made smaller, it looks a bit too big as it stands - maybe crop the top half of it? Apart from that... more copyediting, ("which defies general thought..."- needs sourcing) and perhaps some press reports?--Nilfanion 23:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

A-Class article process?
editSorry, if this is the wrong place to put my question, please excuse my inexperience. I've seen that this article is already a good article, so is there a process similar to the good article process to bring it up to an A-Class article? 65.8.35.224 19:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
GA Sweeps Review: Pass
editAs part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 04:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Dissipation in the Med?
editThe Spanish version of this article (which you would expect to be good but isn't) mentions that "el rastro del sistema, cada vez más debilitado, prosiguió hasta la costa del mediterráneo". I haven't seen a source that tracks the remnants to the Mediterranean, but that would be an interesting addition to the storm history. Also todo: expand storm history, find any "aftermath" if it exists, and copyedit. Plasticup T/C 03:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Trying to sleep, but found this: [5] It explains that la Ronda de Poniente is and talks about its construction - which was interrupted by Vince. When I have time to read it (my Spanish is shaky) I'll try to work it in. Just don't want to lose the link. Plasticup T/C 03:11, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Congrats
editAnother FA for the hurricane project. Congrats! Perhaps you guys will eventually shift to tornadoes? — Deckiller 04:02, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- There's another WikiProject for that... ;) –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. And by-the-by, Hurricane Cindy (2005) has a bit on tornadoes. You probably won't see it on FAC, if you feel like reviewing a Good Article Nomination... Plasticup T/C 14:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Which is correct?
editThis article: "[Vince is not] the most easterly-forming Atlantic tropical storm; [this was] Ginger of the 1967 season."
1967 Atlantic hurricane season: "[Ginger] is the farthest east that a tropical cyclone has ever formed until Hurricane Vince."
They can't both be correct. 86.136.250.154 (talk) 23:53, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure that it's Ginger, but HURDAT would have the answer. Could be a matter of Tropical Storm vs Hurricane or something subtle like that. Plasticup T/C 00:19, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
