A great wind at sea. Usually occurs in the seventh or eighth month. Its force rotates in a circular pattern with a fixed direction. Ships at sea encountering it face extreme danger. However, because it has a fixed direction, meteorologists can predict its path and allow ships to avoid it. Sometimes erroneously written as 颶.
