I hope there are no circumnavigators tackling the southern ocean great circle route to Cape Horn right now. This cyclone is developing nicely around 60S 140W. Modelled wind speeds are only 40-50 kts, but it looks gnarley at 924 HPa central pressure.

I thought every low is technically a cyclone
Every Low is 'cyclonic' as is every high anti-cyclonic. But the lows aren't classified as a cyclone (we'll not in a TC sense at least which is what I was referring to, perhaps erroneously)

Wow. Imagine being stuck there - in a (nearly) never ending series of gales/storms/cyclones.....
