The scale used for a particular tropical cyclone depends on what basin the system is located in; with for example the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale and the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scales both used in the Western Hemisphere.

2023年8月25日 · A Category 3 hurricane develops from a tropical cyclone, which is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center and strong winds. As these cyclones gain strength and evolve, they can reach Category 3 status, with very dangerous winds ranging between 111 to 129 mph (178 to 208 km/h).

2023年10月19日 · Tropical cyclones with an organized system of clouds, and thunderstorms with a defined circulation and maximum sustained winds of 38 mph (61 km/h) or less, are called "tropical depressions". Once the tropical cyclone reaches winds of at least 39 mph (63 km/h), they are typically called a "tropical storm" and ass

Tropical cyclone severity and categories The severity of a tropical cyclone is ranked in categories from 1 (weakest) to 5 (strongest). The category given to a cyclone: is based on its maximum mean wind speed doesn't indicate the severity of other hazards the cyclone may bring. For example, a Category 1 cyclone can have significant impact through heavy rain and flooding. Video: Understanding ...

2017年9月19日 · But what do meteorologists and news anchors actually mean when they talk about hurricane categories, like Category 1, Category 3, or Category 5?

2015年11月19日 · A category two cyclone's strongest winds are DESTRUCTIVE winds with typical gusts over open flat land of 125-164kph. These winds correspond to Beaufort 10 and 11 (storm and violent storm).

In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. Major Hurricane: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 111 mph (96 knots) or higher, corresponding to a Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

Cyclone Gabrielle Category 3 is known to be the third-highest classification on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale which is used to classify tropical cyclones.

2024年4月13日 · A hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 111-129 mph is considered to be Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. A Category 3 cyclone is classified as a major hurricane and is capable of devastating damage.

Hurricane, typhoon, tropical cyclone, very severe cyclonic storm - depending on the basin - when the maximum sustained wind speed exceeds 116 km/h or 63 knots.
