The National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a new atmospheric disturbance over the Tropical Atlantic.
The Cuban meteorologist Raydel Ruisánchez said on Facebook that "so far the chances of forming a tropical cyclone are low."
However, it warned that "some cyclonic development could occur as this system moves west over the next week."
Regarding the forecasting models, he pointed out that "the Europeans have been quite consistent in this situation over the last few days, while the American model only shows an area of bad weather moving through the Caribbean."
The specialist emphasized that "we will be attentive to this situation and the possible changes," and warned that August will soon be here, "when the hurricane season begins to take off," he stated.
Ruisánchez recently said that the Sahara dust would play a crucial role in keeping the tropics calm for a while.
This phenomenon, which occurs more frequently from late June to mid-August, involves the arrival of waves of Saharan dust that cross the Atlantic and even reach the Gulf of Mexico, indicated the specialist Raydel Ruisánchez on his Facebook account.
"Although the air layer from the Sahara is keeping cyclonic activity at bay at the moment, we must be prepared for a possible increase in tropical cyclones once these concentrations decrease in August and September," warned the specialist.
Regarding the intense hurricane season forecasted, the meteorologist cited Colorado State University, which in its recent update increased its figures to 25 named storms, 12 hurricanes, and 6 intense hurricanes, including those that have already formed.
Additionally, the university indicated that there is a 67% chance of an intense hurricane impacting Cuban territory, it emphasized.
