IsiKhokelo seNkqantosi saseCaribbean
Ewe, kukho iziphepheko minyaka yonke eCaribbean. Ewe, ezi zivunguvungu ezininzi zihlasele umhlaba kwaye ziphazamise izithuba. Hayi, akufanele uvumele iziphepho ziyakuthintela ekuthathe uhambo lweCaribbean , nangona ngexesha lokuphakama kwexesha leqhwithi .
UBob Sheets, owayengumlawuli weZiko leNkqantosi kaZwelonke, uthi inkolelo eyinqaba enkulu ngezulu laseCaribbean kukuba "zonke iinkwenkwezi zithengeka." Hayi, hayi nje. Kwaye kutheni
"Amathuba akho okubethwa yiqhwithi e-Caribbean mhlawumbi ayikho into ehlukileyo kakhulu kunokuba i-Miami okanye kwiGulf Coast," kutsho iISpredishithi. Enyanisweni, iminyaka eyi-100 yenkcazelo yeqhwithi ibonisa ukuba amathuba okuba i-Miami ibethwe ngqhwithi "iphakamileyo kunezinye iindawo zaseCaribbean," ngokweSpredishithi.

Yintoni Eyenza Inzantya, Kwaye Kutheni Kubonakala Kuthando LamaCaribbean?
Kutheni iimvunguvungu zihlala zihlasela iiCaribbean? Ngaphandle kokufumana ubuchwepheshe, iziqhwithi zenza iindawo eziphantsi kweengcinezelo eziphantsi kakhulu kumanzi afudumele olwandle (njengalezo zaseCaribbean nase-South Atlantic) ehlobo nasezantsi. Iintsholongwane ezininzi zaseCaribbean ziqala ngokuphila njengamaza ashushu okanye i-depressions phezu kwe-Atlantic (ngezinye iindawo eziselunxwemeni lwaseNtshona-Afrika) kwaye ilandele iimoya zorhwebo entshonalanga, iqokelela amandla kwaye ihlala ifikelela kwindawo ephezulu yamandla kwi-Caribbean basin.
Ngamanye amaxesha, izivunguvane zingaphinde zibe phezu kweCaribbean ngokwayo.
Xa ukudakumba kweengcipheko kugcizelela ukuba kuqhube umoya ojikelezayo we-39 mph ngeenxa zonke kwiphondo, kutyunjelwa njengesiphango esiphezulu kwaye unike igama nge-World Meteorological Association. Isiqhwithi sokuqala sonyaka sinikwa igama elithi "A", kwaye igama liqhubeka nge-alfabhethi: ukuba ubona isiqhwithi seZeke, uyazi ukuba lixesha elixakekileyo lombhobho!
Isiqhwithi sichazwa ngumbhobho (eyaziwa ngokuba yi-tropical cyclone) xa iimoya zayo ezisezantsi zifikelela kwisantya se-74 mph. Isiqhwithi esinesivinini somoya sibizwa ngokuba sisiqendu seNqanaba 1 phantsi kweSaffir-Simpson ; Iziphepho zilinganiswa kwiCandelo lesi-5, eziphefumlelweyo ezinamandla ezinomoya okhuseleyo we-155 mph okanye ngaphezulu.

Iziqithi ezahlukeneyo, iingozi ezahlukeneyo
Umngcipheko weempukane uyahluka kakhulu ukusuka kwisiqithi saseCaribbean ukuya kwisiqithi saseCaribbean. I-Bermuda , njenge-Miami, inomngcipheko we-one-ezine wonyaka ochaphazelekayo yiqhwithi; iingxaki kwiNassau, eBahamas zi malunga ne-in-five.
Kodwa eziqithi zase-Caribbean ezisemzantsi - njenge- Aruba , eBarbados , eCuracao , Bonaire , eGrenada , naseTrinidad naseTobago - ayisoloko ihlaselwa yiziphepho: i-Bonaire, umzekelo, ine-2.2 engama-engozini yonyaka echaphazelekayo isiphepho, okwenza i-50-1 yakho isithintelo ngokuphazamisa ikhefu lakho.
Ngokufanayo, iziqithi zaseNtshona Koloni zingenakwenzeka ukuba zithinteke ngeempukane kunezo zaseMpuma Caribbean .
I-Dow Jones Island Index (ye-PDF, nqakraza apha ) ibeka kwiCuracao njengesiqithi saseCaribbean esincinci ukuba sitshatyalaliswe yiqhwithi, ilandelwe nguBoneire, Grand Cayman , eBarbados naseAruba.

I-Caribbean: Eyona nto ingengozini kuneGulf Coast
Ngokubanzi, uthi amaSpredithi, iindwendwe zaseCaribbean zifumana ithuba elilodwa le-2-3 elichaphazelekayo ngenxa yempikane ngexesha lokuhamba olunye okanye iiveki ezimbini. I-Atlantic yenkwenkwezi yonyaka ivela ngoJuni ukuya kuNovemba, ngokuqhelekileyo ihamba ngoSeptemba.
Ngengqalelo yonke umonakalo obangelwa yiNkantyambo yeKatrina, qhathanisa umngcipheko we-Caribbean ukuya eNew Orleans , ekudala unama-12,5 ekhulwini amathuba okuphazamiseka ngunyonyane kunoma yimuphi unyaka.
Okumangalisayo kukuba, ngoxa uKatrina wagxininisa yonke iMelika malunga nomonakalo onokubangela iziphepho, inani leenombolo zeziphephe ezenziwe ngo-2005 zazingalonakali kakhulu kwiCaribbean.

Yintoni iSiphepho seTropical and Hurricane Watch okanye Isixwayiso?
Iimeteorologists zilandelela iziphepho zeAlantic ezifana nezo zichaphazela i-Caribbean i-official "i-watchic storm watch" xa isiphepho esiphezulu sisongela ukuphazamisa ummandla othile kwiiyure ezingama-48 ezizayo. "Isixwayiso sesiphepho sogqirha" sikhutshwe xa isiqhwithi kulindeleke ukuba sithinte kwiiyure ezingama-36.
Ngokufanayo, i-"watch watch" ikhutshwe xa kuqhutyelwa iqhushulwa ukuba lihlasele umhlaba kwiiyure ezingama-48, ngelixa "isilumkiso soqhwithi" sisetyenziswe xa iindubane zikhangeleka ukuba zitshintshe indawo ekhethiweyo kwiiyure ezingama-24 ezizayo. Ezi ngcebiso zihlala zihamba kunye neefowuni zokukhutshwa kweendawo ezinxweme ezilindeleke ukuba zichaphazeleke isiphepho, eziquka umoya ophezulu kunye nezikhukhula.

Eminye Iminyaka Iyabonakala Kunabanye
I-Atlantic iqhutyana nexesha leemvula ezili-14 iziphepho ezitshisayo kunye neziphepho ezisibhozo ngonyaka. Ngo-2005, nangona kunjalo, kwakukho ama-storms angama-37 kunye neziphepho ezili-9, ezibandakanya iziphepho ezinamandla ezinamanqanaba ayisithupha njengeCandelo 3 okanye ngaphezulu . Nangona kunyaka ololo hlobo, nangona kunjalo, ukubetha ngokuthe ngqo kwiintsholongwane kunqabile, nakwiiMpuma Caribbean. Ngo-2005, kuphela iMpula Dennis yenze umonakalo omkhulu kummandla, eCuba .
Ngokwahlukileyo, iCaribbean yabona izivunguvane ezimbalwa kodwa eziyingozi kakhulu ngo-2004, xa iCandelo 5 Iphepho i-Ivan yenza umonakalo omkhulu eGrenada , kwiIqithi zaseCayman , eJamaica , eSt. Vincent naseTobago . Ngaloo nyaka, iindidi zeziphepho zatshaya iBahamas ngeeveki ezintathu, zagqithisa iziqithi ngemimoya ephezulu nemvula.
Kucacile ukuba inhlanhla idlala indima apho iinqithi zithatyathwa khona, kwaye nini. Kodwa kwakhona, iimeko ezinqwenelekayo zithanda ikhefu laseCaribbean iholide, nangona uhamba ngeyona nkqutyana yenkwenkwezi yonyaka.
