EFFECTIVE – January 16, 2016 – a personal message from Bobnekaro:
"We have reached 2,500 pages. This is incredible. I can't believe we have this many pages on this wiki now. It really is astonishing how a small wiki founded by one user has grown this large."
EFFECTIVE – January 19, 2016 – A personal message from Nkechinyer:
"The size of this wiki is beginning to get amazing. It's amazing to think that events that were very rare months ago are now very common. It seems that chat is very full and active every day, and we are having edit streaks larger than ever before. It is so incredible to see our wiki this large and this active. Thank you to all of those who have helped us reach this level of activity on our wiki!"

EFFECTIVE – April 18, 2016 – Cyclone Fantala has officially made it to Category 5 major cyclone status - a Southwest Indian Ocean intensity record, with record 10-minute winds of 155mph, with gusts of over 215mph!. Current intensity models take the cyclone up to 180mph, and down to 900hpa as of 0600 UTC - note this is outdated.
EFFECTIVE – May 2, 2016 – We reached a chat record, with 19 users! They were:
Even though some socks were involved, this was the fullest chat has ever been and a huge thank you goes out to these users for helping us break the record!
EFFECTIVE – May 28, 2016 – Tropical Depression TWO has formed off the South Carolina coast with peak winds of 35 MPH and a minimum pressure of 1009 mbar, with Tropical Storm Warnings in effect. The NHC is forecasting a 40 MPH peak - does that mean we could get Tropical Storm BONNIE prior to landfall?
EFFECTIVE – June 5, 2016 – We reached a chat record, with 22 users! They were:
Now, I'll leave a small note for the ones who brought in socks/alts into chat - please, don't do this. What happened today was something I do dislike, in my honest opinion. Bringing bots/socks/alts into chat, to get a chat record? Seriously? This is just too far-fetched, in my opinion. I'll say - this is not Hypothetical Socks, or Alts, or Bots... and that wasn't the best idea. Sure, we can have our share of fun in the chat, but what happened today was just "simply not the best choice". I hope every user understood what I said, and I hope this will not happen again. Thank you.
Anyway, I would like to thank all users that were in the chat during the record, and I hope that, next time we do it, we can do it fairly. :P A big shoutout to everyone!
EFFECTIVE – June 5, 2016 - Tropical Storm COLIN has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, which makes it the earliest third named storm in Atlantic history!
EFFECTIVE – July 3, 2016 – Tropical Storm Nepartak has formed in the West Pacific basin, making the 2016 Pacific typhoon season the second latest season for a named storm to develop. Most models take Nepartak into typhoon status, some as the HWRF, take it into super typhoon status.
EFFECTIVE - September 28, 2016 - Happy Birthday, HHW! HHW turns six years old today! It is amazing that over a course of six years there have been over 3,300 pages added to this wiki!
