Keeping Track of Weather Changes: What Is a Tropical Cyclone?



When it comes to protecting your home from the weather, keeping up with weather changes is extremely important. Failing to do so could result in your roof being damaged as well as other areas of your home having to take the brunt of weather changes that might not seem to be as damaging at first.

The thing about tropical cyclones is that you don’t really know how heavily they might impact your area until they actually do. A tropical cyclone is a storm system that rotates at a fast rate, and typically involves wind speeds that can exceed 50-100 mph. While some cyclones will be as “tiny” as 100 km, others can be clearly visible from space, involving large vortex-like cloud formations with diameters exceeding 2000 km.

When a cyclone hits the mainland, many homeowners tend to ignore it if the center of the storm is far away from their areas. However, the strong winds that a cyclone creates even up to 1000 km from its center can definitely warrant some preparation. If you check the weather and you see a cyclone is on its way to reach the continent within a day or so, make sure you prepare yourself and fortify your home, as well as keeping track of news updates as frequently as you can.
