How to use hector in a sentence?

1. Ben Domensino:

   The size, shape and location of Tiwi Islands make them a perfect place for Hector to develop, sea breezes develop over the islands from all sides and meet in the middle. These converging winds, which are carrying moisture from the surrounding sea, have to go somewhere when they clash... so they go up. This rising column of air becomes cooler with height, which causes water vapour to condense into liquid droplets, forming clouds.

2. Deirdre Daly:

   Hector Natal set fire to his neighbors' home knowing that two large families, which included older women and young children, were inside.

3. Ian Shepherd:

   Cloudy conditions and strong westerly winds associated with an active monsoon tend to suppress sea breezes over the islands, reducing the likelihood of Hector forming regularly, an active monsoon also generates regular showers and thunderstorms which move rapidly across the islands from west to east in the relatively cool maritime airstream.

4. Ian Shepherd:

   Southeasterly trade winds extending from the subtropical ridge to the south will normally suppress thunderstorm activity over much of the Northern Territory during the late dry season( September) and at times early in the wet season( October and November), leaving Hector as a prominent but isolated feature on the Darwin skyline.
