Hello fellow editors of this page, I would like to thank you all for your contributions to the draft. I have worked hard creating a list of some news sources of areas so that Yasa may impact. Using these sources we can retrieve information we need for the article. Here they are...
There are also many other reliable sources around the world and this list is just some suggestions. Have a great day!

Category 5 Cyclone
I think Yasa is supposed to be 157mph in wind speeds, because it rounds to 155 making it a Category 4 Cyclone, but it's actually a Category 5 Cyclone according to the SSHWS. Can anyone fix this?

Can't believe this, that the cyclone became the fourth intense and the most intense of 2020. Imagine if it was named Yolanda (that also to be precise, the replacement of Yasa). Beraniladri19🌀🌀 (

Date format
The Fiji RSMC is displaying DDMMYY.
Date format by country lists Fiji with DDMMYY, as does all neighbouring countries. Should the article be writing '16 December' for example? Or am I missing something. The season article is using the same format as this article...--

Look, Fiji uses both formats. And since they don't really have a preference for either one of those formats, there's nothing wrong with writing this article, or any of the articles for other SPAC storms, in a MDY format. Keep in mind that the U.S. has maintained a presence in Fiji for a good portion of
20th century. There are other countries out there that use American English, or a similar variant, as their own version of English. Take the Philippines for example. Writing an article in a MDY does not necessarily skew it towards an American-centric bias. The US has essentially dominated the world since the end of World War II, even though other countries still use their own systems. What, should we strike out the usage of the MDY formatting on any articles not specifically centered on the U.S.? I don't think so. This kind of proposal is counterproductive. LightandDark2000 🌀 (

Fiji was a former British colony. Point to me where in the history where USA dominated Fiji? The Philippines is not part of the SPAC so the comparison is poor. Yes absolutely with the last question, per the Australian region season article. In addition, the neighbouring nations use DMY and British English too.--

The U.S. maintained a consular presence in Fiji for years. You don't have to rule over a country in order to exert influence. That's beside the point. Anyhow, Fiji does not have a preference for either MDY or DMY. In fact, they use both quite often. In relation to tropical cyclone advisories, have a look at these sites
[1][2]. And we're not going to be changing the dating format on other articles, especially ones that are in a completely different topic. You don't have the standing to even attempt such an endeavor either. So I think that you should drop it. This is becoming a waste of time. LightandDark2000 🌀 (

I'm assuming you did not look at the second citation which is using MDY...? Also, using an Wikipedia article instead of an actual Fiji website to make your argument is questionable. Hurricaneboy23(page) *

The website probably is loosely using the date format without much care. Most of the news sites use DMY. I see on the
passports that they use DMY. Actually, I see many of the news sites change their date format repeatedly, sometimes as YMD as well.--

Hello everyone, we use both formats. We preferably use DMY in our education system and in news sites, they use MDY (I don't know about other organisations). As mentioned, FMS too uses both.

This happens when a small country is influenced by the Western world. Same thing with English, we use both (American and British).

How is Yasa stronger than Goni????
Alright, could someone please explain this to me: How is it possible that Yasa is stronger than
Goni? Goni was identified as the strongest landfalling tropical cyclone on record and on Zoom Earth it shows peak pressure of 195mph winds and 884 mb pressure. [1] However on
Tropical cyclones in 2020 Yasa is believed to be the strongest in 2020, and in Zoom Earth shows peak winds of 160mph and 914 mb pressure.[2] I know that Zoom Earth uses JTWC data so it's probably F13 data, but which should I believe???
