Audrey V. Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think it means that for big vessels, waters in the affected areas will be choppy. This week are anniversaries for Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina. Stay away from too much alcohol and greasy foods. Take seasick medicine if prone to seasickness and follow captains orders. ellcee and Neesa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimnKathy Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Cruising during hurricane season is mostly a non-issue other than possible changes to the itinerary. The ships simply sail away from developing storm systems to adjust. MarcBerger, Neesa, Baked Alaska and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmattinson Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I always like viewing the eye of the storm paths on the National Hurricane Center's site: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadget Hackwrench Posted August 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 My only port of call is Bermuda. This reminds me of that scene in Jurassic Park. I can deal with bad weather, but I would rather not encounter any velociraptors on this trip.

JeffB Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Here's a fun link. Unless you are really into NHC Discussions the terminology can be overwhelming - like someone posted up thread. I've always liked pictures better than words. You can inarge the dipaly to include the entirety of western Africa where storms, this time of year, usually, not always, originate, see what's emerging then tracking what looks like cirulation out 7d. You can also change the forecast models between ECMWF and GFS (the two most commonly used forecasting models - there are a ton of others). IN a few days, you'll start hearing about another system "coming off the African coast." You can see it on the Windy model and track what the two models say it's going to do ..... head out into the eastern Atlantic. The other salient point about Hurrican Season in the Caribbean is that we are approaching the historic peak of it (September 15th). Forecasting has gotten good enough these days that ships - the big ones - can sail safely during this season. That is because, as has been mentioned, the cruise ships just sail away from them. The best place to be with hurricanes threatening is on a big ship that can do 30 knots if it has to and cruise ships can. They just go where the hurrican is not forecast to go. The worst place to be is tied up in port! https://www.windy.com/?2022090115,-10.522,-41.855,3 Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 My favorite dude to follow for the weather is a guy named Mike. He runs Mike's Weather Page. He's accurate and hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
