# Talk:Wet season

I know nothing about this stuff, but I notice that Rain season redirects to one article, and Rainy season to another. Is this proper? Should we merge? Cheers. PizzaMargherita 16:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC)Chicken is Fun

Portland Oregon a Meditteranean climate? Uhh, no. Oceanic is correct, despite the dry summers. Also, don't all Mediterranean climates have the same wet/dry pattern (dry summer, wet winter)? The writing suggests that this is only in California. Also, polar tundras typically get most of their precipitation in the summer, since winters are too cold for it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.27.154 (talk) 04:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC) 

Hawaii, which is a tropical area in the Northern hemisphere, experiences its rainy season from October through March — NOT May through September as implied in the article. Likewise Northern California, which is completely dry May through September, and completely rainy October through March. This article is incorrect and needs a major overhaul, complete with references and citations, or it stands to be deleted. Softlavender (talk) 10:57, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Well then get to it! Enelson (talk) 18:12, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm not a meteorologist. I've already tagged the article as unreferenced. I can tag it for deletion if you like. Softlavender (talk) 01:41, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
The thing about stubs (note above where this article is twice cited as Stub-Class) is that they're not yet finished or refined, correcting mistakes that you see would be one way to help improve the article. It's my belief that this article is relatively important, and it seems to me that its mid-importance assessment is justified. If you disagree you can probably contact an active member of the WikiProject Meteorology, threatening deletion on the talk page on the other hand seems less then constructive. Cheers.

The thing is, this article isn't a stub (it was a stub 2+ years ago); it's quite well-developed and appears therefore to the uninformed as being definitive, even though it's inaccurate (not to mention it's a near duplicate of another inaccurate article, Tropical rain belt). Both articles are completely unreferenced and unsourced. I mentioned that on this page in order for those in the field to remedy the situation. If it's not remedied, then, per Wikipedia policy, unverifiable material may be challenged and removed. Softlavender (talk) 13:25, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
I promised myself I wouldn't continue this as it has rapidly become overly confrontational, but here is all I have to say: it is my belief that a stub remains a stub as long as it goes without significant improvement, five paragraphs averaging 2.5 sentences does not constitute a well developed article, and deleting articles because they're not yet completed hurts the value of Wikipedia. Sorry for any bad-blood, I'll add a stub template to the bottom of the article for clarification. Also, that rain belt article looks pretty bad, I'll do the same there.

Being unreferenced, poorly-written, or badly-organized aren't reasons to delete an article. –Juliancolton Happy Holidays 20:01, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
My personal wish would be, since the two of you seem to know something about meteorology or you wouldn't be discussing the article, that you would correct and improve the article and add references and inline citations. If so, thank you in advance. Softlavender (talk) 04:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Since no one else is willing to do it, I've started the renovation.  This should address previous concerns, since everything is now referenced.  It has also significantly shortened the article since all the garbage had to go, but this will be temporary.  Thegreatdr (talk) 05:18, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Softlavender (talk) 05:27, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Glad to help out.  Thegreatdr (talk) 06:03, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Wow, this article looks great, you've totally turned it around since I was on last, kudos! Enelson (talk) 22:42, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

The lead has been shortened.  However, it cannot be made any shorter or the pages format will be ruined.  The images/templates on the right become a jumble if even one more line is removed.  Thegreatdr (talk) 12:55, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I added some small details and a citation regarding malaria and its correlation with the wet season. In addition, I added a citation for the Gudjewg season under Areas Affected and added some information regarding the Ghaggar-Hakra River flooding during monsoon season in India.

Rain happens most during a region's rainy season. Rainy seasons occur mostly during the wet season, when the warm air rises and humidity increases creating clouds that release lots of rain. Every region's seasons will have the most rain during this time. Koley6220 (talk) 23:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
