Quick comment. I think there should be more info on subtropical cyclones outside of the Atlantic basin. After all, Meteo-France in the SWIO officially uses the term, and surely there are other similar types of storms elsewhere around the world (other than the Kona storms, which are already mentioned). Perhaps Cyclone Catarina could be mentioned, as that is a great example of an extratropical storm becoming subtropical, and later tropical, aside from the fact it was an extreme weather anomaly. Is subtropical cyclogenesis any different outside of the Atlantic? --♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 20:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm in favor of leaving both historical types of subtropical cyclones in this article, even though the definition of subtropical cyclone was just changed this past year. Despite the agreed upon change this past spring, it has yet to make the TPC website. Thegreatdr 18:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I removed the sentence about Andrea from the history section. This storm forming doesn't contribute anything to the history of storms being classified as subtropical; aside from it forming in May, there's nothing else special about it that isn't covered by one of the existing examples. -- Core desat 05:56, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
The article says, "However, when he began issuing public statements during the 1972 Atlantic hurricane season with the term 'neutercane', newspapers protested the term was "sexist". "
I have a feeling that this is a modern spin. The term sounded like a bad pun, that's for sure (like the bad puns about himmicanes that circulated in 1978 when they started using male names for tropical cyclones), and "neutercane" was only used in 1972. But there do not seem to be any news articles or other primary sources from 1972 or any nearby dates calling this term "sexist" (see google news archive and google books). Rather, this story seems to have emerged after the year 2000. Does anyone have an actual source from the period saying that the term was considered sexist, and that this is why it was dropped? Or did it just have too much "giggle factor" as a bad pun? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.18.151 ( talk) 03:47, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
An editor replaced the Andrea image with one of Otto in 2010, which would normally be fine. However, the image was one of Otto in its tropical phase. If you are going to replace the main image, please make sure the system is in its subtropical phase. Thank you. Thegreatdr ( talk) 22:20, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
