Tons of firsts with this one, first time we've had 10+ systems active in an outlook since 01/05, first outlook after vacation, and the first outlook on my
newer laptop! Also updates will be coming out at 18z instead due to school.
2026 to Date: 58 INV | 20 TD/SD | 10 TS/SS | 4 C1 | 2 C3 | 1 C5
ACTIVE SYSTEMS (sorted by basin)
* - not listed on the map
[NATL]
95L* [joel] - Guess the gamble's still on. [0/0]
[SWIO]
Cyclone DAREN [GloriouslyBlonde] - Will slowly be moving into Madagascar soon. [45/999]
93S [DB733] - So we sort of thought this system was dead... [30/30]
08S (06) [CycloneTracker15] - Forming a lot slower than usual, forecasts now indicate that this storm will instead target Mauritius and Reunion as a weak TS. [30/1003]
97S [Cove412] - Currently trailing behind 08S/06. [30/60]
Cyclone JACKALYN [Kiko Snowe] - Jackalyn did reintensify to a C4 on the 18th, with a secondary peak of 130/943, but now it's leveling off in intensity, now looking like it'll be sucked into an extratropical system by Thursday. Also now a crossover storm. [115/956]
[AUS]
09S (13U) [ChillyAntoine] - Still very disorganized as it's forming in a high shear region, but it's holding on. Will likely cling to this intensity. [35/999]
Cyclone KEANE [Lazarbeam123] - ANOTHER POTENTIAL MERGER??? Yep, and this system might win the tug. [40/996]
95S (11U)* [Ideaful] - Aaaand it didn't happen. Also I mistakenly called this system 93S last update. [0/0]
12U [PalladiumLand] - ...by erratic I meant just going south. Yeah. Won't go into the triple merger though but Keane's pulling the system a bit closer. [35/1000]
96S (14U) [JXthemeteorologist] - This one's unfortunately getting tugged into Jackalyn. [0/0]
98S (15U) [Edenalte] - Not the best conditions to start heading out of Australia, but it will pick up quickly soon enough. [0/40]
[SPAC]
04F [0909A] - Currently nearing New Caledonia, after which it will shrivel up quickly after passing close to the islands. [35/1001]
[SATL]
93Q* [Astervius] - Unfortunately won't happen. [0/0]
HOW TO SPAWN A SYSTEM ON THE MAP
Choose where you want to spawn a system by typing coordinates in square brackets ([A, a] / [a, A] are acceptable, [A, A] / [a, a] aren't and I will assume you meant [A, a])
Make sure to spawn a system in a place where you can produce ACE, since everyone's competing to see who can get the most by the end of the year! (Or just goof around by spawning systems literally anywhere, your choice)
Basically sit back as your storm develops! (Or not)
You can only spawn another system 3 days after your last system dissipates. You can reserve a spawning spot once every week.
Note: Unlike Youricane, storms in YourWoTC start out as invests instead.
I'm too tired to do the ACE Leaderboard and Who Can Spawn Again graphics, again, anyone who doesn't have an active system can spawn a storm.
The next update (assuming schedules work out) will be on January 21, 2026 @ 18z.
