🔍 Key Concepts

• Dangerous vs. navigable semicircle of a hurricane relative to its direction of movement • How wind direction changes over time (veering vs. backing) tells you whether the storm’s center is passing to one side or the other • Using successive storm positions from weather bulletins to determine your relative location to the storm track

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: If the wind at your vessel steadily shifts clockwise (or counterclockwise), what does that usually mean about which side of the storm you’re on? • How can plotting two or more reported storm centers on a chart help you see the storm’s direction of movement and your position relative to its right or left side? • Think about whether one method alone is enough, or whether combining both methods gives a more reliable indication of which semicircle you’re in.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definitions: which side of the storm (right or left of its track in the Northern Hemisphere) is called the dangerous semicircle? • Verify what veering (clockwise shift) and backing (counterclockwise shift) winds indicate as the storm moves past you. • Confirm whether weather bulletin positions alone can tell you your semicircle, or if you must also interpret local wind changes.
