Is it true that Winston is the strongest cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere for 1-minute sustained winds? Cyclonebiskit stated in his edit summary that JTWC re-analysed Winston's track and decreased it to 155kts. So does Winston still hold the record, tied with another storm or not?

Wikipedia's Main Page has not been updated to mention that deaths have occurred. Only admins can edit the Main Page, otherwise I would do it. Admins, please update. Akld guy ( talk) 10:28, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
Seriously, could you stop using your "February 20" format and stick to what the rest of the world uses? - edit: Sorry, haven't logged in for a very long time and now figured out how to sign :) Xushi ( talk) 07:56, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
@ Cyclonebiskit: @ Meow: I really wanted to start a talk page about this in the Wikiproject talk page, deciding whether we should use the MDY or DMY format or use in different basins. Thanks for that anon user for pointing that out. :) Typhoon2013 (talk) 04:51, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
@ Damien4794: stated that Winston is still active but subtropical. Is this true? However the BoM had mentioned that Winston is now in the AusR basin but it is classified as an Ex-Tropical cyclone. So is Winston active as a (sub)tropical cyclone or now an extratropical cyclone? Typhoon2013 (talk) 10:29, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
I know that some sources are saying that Winston is the costliest in the basin, but from what I can find Cyclone Val of 1991 did at least $278 million USD in damage which accounting for inflation would be about $484 million USD today. Undescribed ( talk) 12:51, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

I feel that such record, as the most intense tropical cyclone on record globally in terms of 10-minute maximum sustained winds, should be cited here for its notability. No other agency assessed such high winds, so it is the stongest overall. ABC paulista ( talk) 16:35, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Given the record-breaking SHem pressure of 884 mb, and the fact Winston was the strongest to make landfall in the Fiji Province, and that it was the costliest in the SPac on record, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a Meteorological history of Cyclone Winston and Effects of Cyclone Winston in Fiji pages on here. Plus, the MH in the main article is a bit lengthy and I think it should be cut down at some point. -- MarioProtIV ( talk/ contribs) 20:18, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi, the intro states "Striking Fiji at Category 5 intensity on 20 February, Winston inflicted extensive damage on many islands and killed 764 people" (see 3rd paragraph) the info-box states the number of fatalities as 44. Which is correct please? Thanks, Wolfgang K ( talk) 21:55, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello. I reverted the path of Cyclone Winston back to the previous path because the current track is outdated. SpicySweets ( talk) 19:26, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
