Is a Subtropical storm the same thing as tropical depression... When did we start naming tropical depressions?
The insurance industry benefits from the current practice of naming every little tropical depression.
A Subtropical storm has a lower core temperature. I guess that’s a good thing.
Those weather people are huffing paint thinner at the first sign of a dark cloud. They gotta drum up interest in their otherwise vapid "shows".
Soon, they will start naming cold fronts. Maybe even individual clouds.
We’ve been naming depressions ever since CAGW became a source of power and money and control for the democrats. And the NHC.
No. A sub-tropical storm is a hybrid tropical storm. It has the wind speeds of a tropical storm but not all of the tropical characteristics, meaning it is completely warm-core. It is a hybrid between a topical and extra-tropical system.
Their convection and strongest winds are usually on the north and northeast sides and the center of lowest pressure is usually sheered. They will usually transition to a warm-core system given enough time.
There are also sub-tropical depressions. They name them because they can be just as dangerous, mostly due to fresh-water flooding (heavy rain) as a regular tropical storm.
