A tropical cyclone developing off western Australia to the south of us, meant it was time to skedaddle. And what lay in front of us was a 30-mile passage through the Lombok Strait. Known for its unpredictable and fierce currents, this would be a chance to test all the systems we had replaced or repaired in the boat yard.
In the coming days, winds were expected to strengthen and the sea state to become untenable. We needed to be tucked away inside a calm anchorage, so it made sense to head south to Marina Del Ray where we hoped to find shelter between the southern Gilis (islands).
Cyclones
‘Tropical cyclone’ is a generic term for big circulating weather systems, but the names change in different parts of the world.
“In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term “hurricane” is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a “typhoon”. Meanwhile, in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the generic term “tropical cyclone” is used, regardless of the strength of the wind associated with the weather system.” @usoceangov
To add to the confusion, tropical cyclones are categorised further by strength, which can vary from day to day:
1. Tropical Depression: maximum sustained winds of 38 mph (33 knots) or less.
2. Tropical Storm: maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 63 knots).
3. Hurricane or Typhoon: maximum sustained winds of 74 mph (64 knots) or higher
