About AngelPandaMeteorology

Angelic Panda Meteorology (or AngelPandaMeteorology) is a division of the Angelic Panda Group founded to track and create updates on tropical cyclones as they occur around the world.

Preparing For Creation

In February 2022, AngelPandaEarth starting teasing the creation of A.P.Meteorology with a few tweets:

• Profile Picture (February 26, 2022)

• "Thinkin' about content splittin'" (February 27, 2022)

On March 8, the division's main page was created. The tropical weather update slide (previously on a now-removed page) was moved here, although there's also an additional embed over on the site home page.

AngelPandaEarth has continued leaving clues of A.P.Meteorology on his Twitter (and a community post on YouTube).

• Reply to HCC Xtra's idea of split Twitter content into two accounts (April 20, 2022)

• "I agree" (April 21, 2022; replying to A.P.M. PFP)

• Community post about May 15 (May 6, 2022)

• "...some things need to be split" (May 10, 2022)

• "..as soon as May 15 00z?" (May 13, 2022) with a later reply.

On May 14, AngelPandaEarth uploaded his near-daily tropical weather outlook. It was a very early one, and it was also the first blank outlook in several months. But most importantly, he stated that the outlook was the last one on his Twitter page, saying "you'll find out soon enough...". The outlook also has the A.P.Meteorology logo at the top, instead of A.P.Earth's logo.

First Appearances on Social Media

On May 15 at roughly 1:45 AM UTC, AngelPandaEarth tweeted "It's time". Shortly after, a new Twitter account was created under the username "APGMeteorology," which tweeted out "Hello is this thing on?," signifying the creation of our Twitter handle. AngelPandaEarth then made a long announcement telling weather followers to follow that account instead, stating that he'll be retweeting every notable tweet up to June 1st 23:59 UTC to help the process. Between May 15 and June 1, the Twitter page gained 19 followers excluding AngelPandaEarth and his bot Today, I Am. On June 1, the project's Twitter tweet out about "something to watch." Not too long after, a new YouTube channel was created as a brand account under AngelPandaEarth's email.

The Project's Prime Time

Ever since the creation of the Meteorology project, AngelPandaEarth would post almost everything related to tropical cyclones on the project's pages, rather than his own. Live graphics and outlooks would appear on the Twitter page and YouTube community tab, and video updates would appear on the YouTube page for more severe storms. Alongside video storm updates, a multitude of animations would also be uploaded to the YouTube page. There were animations on individual storms, entire seasons, and even hypothetical Atlantic seasons.

Between May 2022 and summer 2024, the project was in its prime with AngelPandaEarth's near-perfect consistency on his live operations. There were only a few exceptions to the consistency: the week long break after AngelPandaEarth injured his dominant hand in a bike accident in November 2022, and the horrific performance on operations on Hurricane HILARY 2023. By the time of the project's decline, both the YouTube and Twitter pages accumulated over 500 followers each.

Decline of the Project

In September 2024, AngelPandaEarth announced that "full" video updates would be temporarily discontinued due to college, but short video updates would still be produced. Nearly two months later, he apologizes for the lack of live graphics on individual storms, citing that college had been "unusually challenging" in his Fall 2024 semester. He states that he hoped for the graphics to return alongside full video updates. However, the Outlook Recap for 2024 did not release on New Years 2025 despite the winter break.

In January 2025, no individualized storm updates were performed on Cyclone DIEKLEDI, despite the threat to Madagascar and Mozambique.
