How to source individual temperature records that are routinely broken, on US weather boxes? The last days broke thousands of March highest temperature records in central US, and I have made some edits to articles of many places that broke them, but some got reverted. How do I source them? --40bus (talk) 06:22, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Checking the NOAA NCEI website might have the data but I’m not sure how frequently every weather station’s data is updated. Realjospence (talk) 13:29, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Typhoon Fung-wong (2025)#Requested move 23 March 2026 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. TarnishedPath^talk 09:26, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Wikinews is shutting down, and the weather portal links to it. I have started a discussion about removing this link here. Mitchsavl (talk) 23:38, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

I have opened up a discussion to promote the Yazoo City tornado to Featured Article status. I have been working extensively on the article and trying my best to get it to the best quality possible and the first attempt failed due to lack of voters so if you want to contribute, it would be highly appreciated.

I've found two red links in steam devils about "fog streamers" and "vertex vortices". It's the first time I've come across these terms. Are they really important?--Carnby (talk) 16:54, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Unless you can generally conclude that the redlinks should not exist for one reason or another, I would keep them. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 21:10, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

But are fog streamers and vertex vortices really important? If so, I would create two Wikidata items for them.-- Carnby (talk) 13:07, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

They might be. See the discussion had at User talk:Jimbo Wales/Archive 254#Not everything is written where several editors discussed relatively basic topics that Wikipedia lacked until recently. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 13:15, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Tornado outbreak of April 13-16, 2026 - Making this early so as the tornado outbreak goes on, the page can be updated. shane (talk to me if you want!) 15:07, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Can we have a moratorium on notifications about current/future tornado outbreaks? Wikipedia is not a news bureau, so articles aren’t needed the moment a weather event happens. Sometimes context is needed to figure out how important it is. Not to pick on you, EditorShane3456 (talk · contribs), but this happens a lot. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 00:01, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

We literally had like 50+ tornadoes today, some hit cities and were extremely violent shane (talk to me if you want!) 00:08, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

People will edit it if they want to edit it. Maybe leave a notification at Talk:Tornadoes of 2026 if you are struggling with writing it. However, that should happen after the outbreak is complete. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 00:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Agreed. This is the talk page for all weather articles, not just US tornadoes. All deadly and noteworthy weather events usually get coverage and attention, so I agree with making the draft, just make sure the right people see it (like Tornadoes of 2036, as suggested).
