Is it time for a Category 6 for super cyclones? No – warnings of floods or storm surges are more useful

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 6, 2024

If a Category 5 storm with wind speeds of 250 kilometres per hour is heading for you, you prepare differently than you would for a Category 1 with wind speeds of 65 km/h.

Key Points: 
  • If a Category 5 storm with wind speeds of 250 kilometres per hour is heading for you, you prepare differently than you would for a Category 1 with wind speeds of 65 km/h.
  • In a hotter world, cyclones are expected to become less common but more intense when they do form.
  • Only one hurricane in the Western Hemisphere has yet gone past the 309 km/h winds the researchers nominate for a Category 6.
  • And the whole idea of storm scales, including Australia’s own tropical cyclone scale, is that Category 5 storms are those likely to do catastrophic damage.

What are storm scales for?

  • There are several different intensity scales in use.
  • Different scales are used in the Australian, North Indian, Southwest Indian, and western North Pacific basins.
  • Tropical Cyclone Oswald, a 2013 Category 1 storm, led to heavy rainfall and flooding through Queensland and New South Wales, while the 1992 Category 5 Hurricane Andrew caused catastrophic wind damage – but little rain or storm surge damage when it hit Florida.

So do we really need a Category 6?

  • But this is the only one which meets their criteria in the last 40 years, as it was well observed by US aircraft missions.
  • The Australian Tropical Cyclone Scale has different thresholds but similar reasoning for a Category 5 storm.
  • Based on the understanding that winds at Category 5 and above lead to catastrophic outcomes, it’s hard to see how adding a Category 6 would help the public.
  • If a Category 5 means “expect catastrophic consequences”, what would Category 6 mean?

How can we best communicate cyclone threats?

  • Scientists came up with tropical cyclone intensity scales as a way to clearly communicate the nature and size of the damage likely to occur.
  • Fundamentally, these scales are meant to measure how well our buildings and infrastructure can survive the wind force and also protect us.
