Njengazo zonke iziqhingi zaseCaribbean ezingaphansi kwebhanti le-Atlantic, i-Jamaica isengozini enkulu yeziphepho. Ngenkathi i-2017 yase-Atlantic yesikhwama sezulu sase-Atlantic yayingenye yezinto ezisebenzayo kakhulu emlandweni, iJamaica yayingashiywanga kakhulu yiziqhumane i-Irma noMaria, ezadabula eCaribbean, zabulala inqwaba futhi zabangela ukulimala kwezigidigidi zamaRandi.
Kodwa kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi i-Jamaica iye yathinteka yizikhukhula eziningana-hamba kusukela ngonyaka ka-2000, noma ngabe ngaphandle kwamaphophozi aphule lesi siqhingi noma lapho isiphepho senza isiteleka esicacile.
Isiphepho esikhulu sokugcina esihlasela iJamaica kwakuyiNkanyamba iSoundy ngo-2012, lapho isiphepho sidabula esiqhingini ngaphambi kokulimaza kakhulu e-United States.
Ukuhlela uhambo lokuya eJamaica? Nakhu okumele ukwazi ngakho ngenkathi yeziphepho.
Isikhathi siphepho nini? Isikhathi sezulu sase-Atlantic siphezulu kusukela ngoJuni 1 kuya kuNovemba 30 kanye nenani eliphakeme kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti kuze kube sekupheleni kuka-Okthoba. Ibhasi lase-Atlantic lihlanganisa lonke i-Atlantic Ocean, uLwandle LwaseCaribbean neGulf of Mexico. Iziphepho zingenza, futhi zenze, zishaye kuzo zonke izindawo zale mzimba wamanzi.
Yini ejwayelekile yenkathi yeziphepho? Ngokusekelwe kumarekhodi omlando womlando kusukela ngo-1850, isifunda sase-Atlantic siyovame ukubhekana neziphepho ezingu-12 ezishisayo ezinomoya onamandla we-39 mph, lapho eziyisithupha ziphenduka iziphepho ezinomoya ofinyelela ku-74 mph noma ngaphezulu, nezigaba ezintathu ezinkulu noma ngaphezulu imimoya okungenani 111 mph.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi iningi lalezi ziphepho azikwenzeki ukufika ezweni laseJamaica.
Ziningi kangakanani iziphepho ezithinta amaJamica? Isiphepho sidlula eduze kwaseJamica, ngokwesilinganiso, njalo eminyakeni emine. Isiphepho sishaya ngqo eJamaica njalo eminyakeni engu-11, ngokwesilinganiso. Okuvamile kakhulu ehlobo nokuwa yiziphepho ezishisayo ezingahlangabezane nomngcele wezinhla zeziphepho kodwa ziletha imimoya ephezulu nezikhukhula.
Kusho ukuthini amacebo ami eholide? Ngokwesibalo, amathuba okuphefumula noma isiphepho esishisayo esishaya uJamesica ngenkathi uvakashele kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, kunezinqumo ongayenza ukuze unciphise ingozi yesiphepho esiphazamisa ukuvakasha kwakho.
Qaphela ukuthi iziphepho ezintathu ezivela ezine neziphepho ezishisayo zenzeka phakathi kuka-Agasti no-Okthoba, lapho umsebenzi wesiphepho uhamba phambili ekuqaleni kuka-Septhemba. Ukubhuka ukuhamba ngezinyawo ngoJuni, ngoJulayi noma ngoNovemba kubhekwa ukubheja okuphephile.
Uma uhamba phakathi nenkathi yeziphepho, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sokuqala kuka-Agasti kuya ku-Okthoba, kufanele ucabangisise ngokuthenga umshuwalense wokuhamba . Umshuwalense onjalo awubizi futhi uzovikela ukutshalwa kwezimali kwakho uma udinga ukukhansela izindiza noma ukubhuka kwamahhotela. Qinisekisa ukuthi uthenga umshuwalense ohlinzeka ngokuqondile ngokukhishwa kwephepho.
Ngingahlala kanjani phezu kwezixwayiso zesiphepho? Uma uhamba endaweni ehambelaniswe nesiphepho, landa uhlelo lokusebenza lwephepho kusukela e-American Red Cross ngezibuyekezo zesiphepho kanye nokushaywa kwezici eziwusizo.
I-Recap ye-Hurricane Isizini 2017
Isikhathi sonyaka ka-2017 sase-Atlantic siphepho sasiyisikhathi esibucayi, esiyingozi, esiyingozi kakhulu esibekwe phakathi kwezinyanya kakhulu kusukela amarekhodi aqala ngo-1851.
Okubi nakakhulu, inkathi yayingapheli, nazo zonke iziphepho zezinsuku ezingu-10 zenzeka ngokulandelanayo.
Abaningi ababikezelayo babengekho uphawu, mhlawumbe kancane noma ngokunciphisa ngokuyinhloko inombolo kanye nokufutheka kweziphepho. Ekuqaleni konyaka, ababikezeli babelindele ukuthi i-El Niño izokhula, isinciphise umsebenzi wesiphepho. Kodwa-ke, i-El Niño ebikezelwe ayihlulekile ukuthuthukisa futhi esikhundleni salokho, izimo ezingathathi hlangothi zakhiwe ukwakha iLa Niña ngomnyaka wesibili ngokulandelana. Abanye ababikezeli balungisa ukubikezela kwabo ngenxa yezokuthuthuka, kodwa abazange baqonde ngokugcwele ukuthi inkathi izokwenzeka kanjani.
Khumbula ukuthi unyaka ojwayelekile uletha iziphepho eziyi-12, iziphepho eziyisithupha, neziphepho ezintathu ezinkulu. Unyaka wezi-2017 wawunezikhathi ezingaphezu kwezinga elijwayelekile elikhiqiza iziphepho ezingu-17 ezibizwa ngokuthi iziphepho, iziphepho eziyi-10, neziphepho ezinkulu eziyisithupha.
Nakhu ukuthi izibikezelo zihambelana kanjani nezibikezelo zabo zonyaka ka-2017.
- I-NOAA (I-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) yanciphisa kancane inkathi, ibikezela inkathi "engaphezulu-evamile" eneziphepho ezinamagama angu-11 kuya ku-17, iziphepho ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisishiyagalolunye, kuhlanganise neziphepho ezimbili noma ezine ezinkulu.
- I-Global Weather Oscillations Inc. (GWO) nayo yabikezela ngenhla imisebenzi ephezulu enezivunguvungu ezingu-16, iziphepho eziyisishiyagalombili, neziphepho ezine ezinkulu.
- Ingozi yaseTropical Storm evela eNyuvesi yaseLondon ingacabangi ukuthi i-ferocity yenkathi yabikezela ngokubikezela iziphepho ezingu-14 ezithiwa, iziphepho eziyisithupha, neziphepho ezintathu ezinkulu.
- Isimo sezulu sezulu sabikezela isikhathi esijwayelekile, ngeziphepho ezingu-12 eziqanjwe ngamagama, iziphepho eziyisithupha, neziphepho ezimbili ezinkulu.
- UMnyango Wezemvelo WaseNorth Carolina State University , ulahlekelwe uphawu ngokubikezela isiphepho esivamile ngezikhathi eziyi-11 kuya kwezingu-15 ezibizwa ngokuthi iziphepho, iziphepho ezine kuya kweziyisithupha, neziphepho ezintathu kuya kwezintathu ezinkulu.
- I-Accuweather yayikude , ibikezele isikhathi esingaphansi kancane-esivamile-esivamile, eneziphepho ezinamagama angu-10, iziphepho ezinhlanu, neziphepho ezintathu ezinkulu.
- I-Colorado State University nayo yabikezela ukuthi unyaka osebenza kancane kancane kunokwamukelekile, eneziphepho ezingu-11 okuthiwa, iziphepho ezine, neziphepho ezimbili ezinkulu.
