The cyclonic storm occurring over the Caribbean Sea is known as

Tropical cyclones are intense low-pressure systems that are known by different regional names depending on their location of origin. In the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, these cyclonic storms are specifically referred to as hurricanes [5]. The Caribbean region falls under the jurisdiction of the RA IV Hurricane Committee, which manages the naming and monitoring of these systems [5]. In contrast, similar storms are called typhoons in the Western Pacific and China Sea [3], willy-willies in Western Australia [4], and simply cyclones in the Indian Ocean [5]. The term hurricane is used for systems in the North Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico when they reach a specific intensity, typically defined by sustained wind speeds exceeding 74 mph [6].
