This was originally a post with the same name as my last outlook :p
This was originally a post with the same name as my last outlook :p
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.
This is the last outlook I'll post while on vacation, and since I'm busy, I sorta cut the graphics I'm supposed to post, which is why it'll only be text-only and the last outlook's map for spawning. The next outlook will be on my newer laptop, which means there should be a quality jump from the last update to the next! I might make an actual outlook image when I get home so yeah, sorry for the inconvenience.

[NATL]
• 95L [joel] - Tropical Disturbance Gambling Simualtor? [0/10]
[WPAC]
• 94W* [Edenalte] - Dead. [0/0]
• 95W [LemonJuiceIsSweet] - So close... yet so far. [0/0]
[SWIO]
• 07S (05) [GloriouslyBlonde] - Currently expected to swoop southwest as it brushes the northwestern coast of Madagascar. [30/1000]
• 93S [DB733] - It was to be expected, wasn't it? [0/0]
• 94S [CycloneTracker15] - Lots of convection bubbling up from this one, likely to strike Madagascar as a Category 1 cyclone. [90/100] [AUS]
• Cyclone JACKALYN [Kiko Snowe] - Jackalyn weakened quite a bit after its explosive Category 5 peak, as it's now currently experiencing some drier air as it marches towards the west. A secondary peak is likely to happen soon, although it will only be a low-end Category 4 at this point. [120/954]
• 92S [ChillyAntoine] - I think we might need Indonesian names just in case if this storm ever forms, which it looks like it might if it keeps developing at this rate. [40/70]
• 95P [bosnia] - Expected to dash south towards New Caledonia, but it'll likely be weak. [10/30]
• 96P (10U) [Lazarbeam123] - Formed just off the coast of Mackay, will parallel the Australian coastline before accelerating towards the southeast. [40/80]
• 93S (11U) [Ideaful] - Formed just south of where Jackalyn is, could potentially get launched towards the northeast and potentially form. Who knows. [10/20]
• 94S (12U) [PalladiumLand] - Will likely make an erratic track over the next few days. [10/50]
[SPAC]
• Cyclone GALIOT* [JXthemeteorologist] - This storm is pretty much gone at this point. [20/1005] [SATL]
• 93Q [Astervius] - Fun fact: I do try to keep things as realistic as possible with this series, but I'm going to have to assume for this storm because there's not much data about the SATL in terms of tropical factors. [10/20]HOW TO SPAWN A SYSTEM ON THE MAP

MAP FROM JAN 15
The next update (assuming schedules work out) will be on January 19, 2026 @ 12z.
I *might* have to upload another outlook tomorrow as I will be offline on Sunday the 17th. This is just so I can be on-schedule by the time I do get back on Monday the 18th. (I will be travelling those two days so yeah)
2026 to Date: 47 INV | 13 TD/SD | 8 TS/SS | 4 C1 | 2 C3 | 1 C5
ACTIVE SYSTEMS (sorted by basin)
[WPAC]
94W [Edenalte] - Currently on its last legs as a system. [10/10]
95W [LemonJuiceIsSweet] - And it has now downtrended, although a TC could still form from this, just not likely. [20/20]
[SWIO]
91S [GloriouslyBlonde] - Might take a similar approach to northern Madagascar like what Chambo did, just without the landfall. [30/50]
93S [DB733] - Formed in relative proximity to 91S, has lower chances due to more hostile conditions. [10/20]
94S [CycloneTracker15] - We might be seeing the first real punch of the season, currently forecasted to strike the central coast of Madagascar next week. [30/70]
[AUS]
Cyclone JACKALYN [Kiko Snowe] - Uh oh. It seems as if we've underestimated this storm's intensification phase as this storm has now intensified to the first Category 5 tropical cyclone this year. Luckily, the storm is likely to level at this intensity for a few more hours before undergoing an ERC. It's still going to track westward and stay as a major tropical cyclone at least for the next couple of days over the open Indian Ocean. [165/912]
90S (09U) [Cove412] - Has now been absorbed into Jackalyn. [0/0]
92S [ChillyAntoine] - Curiously formed in the Banda Sea. Model runs currently want this storm to swoop back down to the Timor Sea and develop. [0/10]
[SPAC]
Cyclone GALIOT [JXthemeteorologist] - Still survivng after it passed through Vanuatu. [25/1002]

[WPAC]
93W* [mona] - Another open-water WPAC system. [0/0]

95W [LemonJuiceIsSweet] - Computer runs are currently uptrending on this system to potentially form. [50/50]
[MED]
02M [AsrielTheLatvian] - This system also got lucky enough to get designated, however it has veered into northwestern Italy, where it made landfall as a SD. [25/1000]

@CycloneTracker15 Oh, I was confusing your name with the same guy who's on the HHW Discord, they're very similar :P
I kinda apologize if I didn't get to show to yalls what happened on the 7th, so I'll post what I would've posted on that day in the replies. I was a bit sick the day after I uploaded the last YourWoTC outlook, but I'm feeling a lot better now and outlooks should be trickling in soon enough, thanks for staying patient through this entire time :)
2026 to Date: 28 INV | 11 TD/SD | 7 TS/SS | 2 C1 | 1 C3 | 0 C5
ACTIVE SYSTEMS: (sorted by basin)
[SWIO]
Cyclone CHAMBO (Palladiumland) - Chambo is gradually intensifying, currently posing a threat to the Comoros and Mayotte. [60/995]
[AUS]
Cyclone JACKALYN [Kiko Snowe] - The cyclone has finally escaped Australia and should step into very favorable conditions for intensification soon. [40/1000]
[SPAC]
93P (06U) [Alexis!] - Currently moving due south, currently battling some strong wind shear. [10/30]
Cyclone ELISAPECI [Ideaful] - The storm after peaking as the year's first major tropical cyclone has now been weakened to a moderate tropical storm due to stronger wind shear in the area. [50/995]
[SEPAC]
90Y [Lazarbeam123] - We now have our first system daring to battle the SEPAC's dangerous conditions. Will it form against the odds? [10/10]
What happened to the other systems? (in no particular order)
ANDRE made landfall in central Madagascar on January 7 after absorbing BAKO.
INDIGO and FILBERT both degenerated, the former hitting Australia as a RL and the other dove off to the southern Pacific.
ELISAPECI peaked as a Category 4 (130 mph / 947 mbar) system, struck Samoa as a Category 3.
02W and 94S both died to wind shear.
96S turned into Tropical Depression 04S early on January 8, however didn't intensify to a tropical storm. The storm brought moderate flooding to southern Mozambique.
97S (spawned by Kennylovecaney22 on January 6) had swirled up, just didn't go fully subtropical.

The next update (assuming schedules work out) will be on January 7, 2026 @ 12z.
Forgot to mention this, but here's a list of people who currently cannot spawn a system and do not have an active storm. Will add this later
Fun fact: This is the 3rd consecutive year where I've tried to make a worldwide hypo, and the other two died in early February. Third time's the charm perhaps?

92L [Jklm45s] - Same situation as 90L. [10/10]
[WPAC]
90W [rightside124] - The system's got about 18 hours to form until it strikes the island of Leyte. [30/50]
[MED]
90M [mona] - Potential for this system dropped off significantly yesterday due to encountering shear, at this point, imagery for this system is just its LLC. [10/10]
01M [Lazarbeam123] - 01M has formed into a subtropical depression and is now headed NE towards central Italy. [30/1002]
[SWIO]
Cyclone ANDRE [Cove] - Andre also becomes the first named system this year, slowly moving west as it starts approaching Madagascar. [50/996]
Cyclone BAKO [cyclonetracker15] - Bako is slowly being pulled into Andre's influence, slightly affecting its track, but computer models have these systems separated soon enough. [50/999]
[AUS]
Cyclone INDIGO [JXthemeteorologist] - Indigo is currently intensifying along the northwestern coastline of Australia. [70/993]
91S (01U) [LemonJuiceIsSweet] - 91S has died down due to low SSTs. [0/0]
[SPAC]
01F [Ideaful] - 01F forms and has a high chance to rapidly intensify over the next couple of days, currently posing a threat to Samoa. [35/1001]
90P (03U) [ChillyAntoine] - Crossed into the SPAC border and should be forming later today. [80/100]
[SATL]
90Q [Edenalte] - There was some slight signs of hope, unfortunately couldn't exactly pull it off. [0/0]

@LazarBeam123 I used -K from the Turkish Karadeniz, and I already use -N for systems above 40N and -Z for systems below 40S
Happy New Year, HHW! It looks like after the madness that was 3TH4N, the torch has essentially now been passed to me, and now I must take charge of a real-world Youricane spinoff for an entire year.

You can spawn a system on December 29 when I make the early spawning post
YourWoTC = Your World of Tropical Cyclones, basically Youricane but real-world basins
This is basically going to be the map graphic that I'll use for YourWoTC this year. I'm not expecting this to be used too much since editing and updating these map graphics takes quite a while, so if I have the free time to do so, I'll put actual stuff on here.
Also the map itself is a bit inaccurate and weird with the basin borders and stuff but in general the NHEM basins extend up to 60N and the SHEM basins extend down to 40S. I didn't want to put the specific things that some basins do cough cough Australian basin and its slightly more specific southern borders cough cough but this is going to be close enough. I sorta didn't bother with PAR and the Indonesian and PNGuinean TCWSes but I will designate storms just in case.
Next update will probably be the one where you can spawn storms early (which'll be on December 29, so stay tuned!)
EDIT: Made an article about 2026 YourWoTC, yalls are encouraged to edit it as I'm going to focus on only making the graphics.
