thread_title:  Wind speeds converted incorrectly 

message: The categories Very Strong Typhoon and Violent Typhoon on the JMA scale shown on the bottom scale comparison table do not seemingly exist. Those categories are not shown on the scale chart in the JMA scale's section of the TC scales WP page and no other known source talks about these categories on the JMA scale. The categories have been on there for months. Is there need for concern regarding this?

message: According to the latest BoM update for a system (archived link), the system was a tropical low with sustained winds of 65 km/h. Per the scale in the article, that would be a category 1 cyclone, however, BoM marks it still as a “Tropical Low”. Scale is inaccurate per BoM. Elijahandskip (talk) 07:05, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You clearly have not read Australian region tropical cyclone which says "Within this region a tropical disturbance is classified as a tropical cyclone when it has 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65 km/h (40 mph) that wrap halfway around the low level circulation centre" (emphasis mine). So it is necessary, but not sufficient, for a tropical low to have gale-force winds for it to be upgraded to a tropical cyclone. I'm removing your disputed tag as being baseless; a clarification edit might be needed.--Jasper Deng (talk) 11:23, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: , I read that. My edit was about why the scale Template:Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale, says category 1 starts at 63 km/h. How is that not counter-productive? The article says a tropical low starts at 65 km/h, but the scale template says a category 1 cyclone starts at 63 km/h? That is the issue. The article point blank disagrees with itself. Elijahandskip (talk) 14:47, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  Read the section again and you will find that it says that Tropical Low is below 63 km/h or 35 kts. The article also says that the gale force winds need to be near the centre before it is named because that's the requirement for the majority of the warning centres in RA V. Australia (BoM) is the only exception to this rule. Jason Rees (talk) 20:08, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
