I'm not sure how to translate "elaborat" related to a natural phenomenon:

"I, ja en costes franceses, van haver de passar sis dies a Toulon per culpa d'un altre temporal. Aquesta vegada, però, havien sabut captar ****els senyals precursors de la tempesta, molt elaborats****, i , quan les elements es desencadenaren, ells ja s'havien refugiat a port."
