The National Hurricane Center of the United States (NHC) reported this Sunday about the possible formation of a low pressure area in the southwestern Caribbean Sea, south of Cuba, in the coming days.
According to the report issued at 2:00 PM on social media platform X, this system could begin to gradually develop by the end of the week and has a 40 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression in the coming days.
The projected path indicates that it could move north or northeast, which could affect Cuba in some way, as well as other areas of the Caribbean.
For this reason, residents in the region should stay informed and prepared for possible storm conditions, in case the system strengthens.
In June, meteorologists from Colorado State University (CSU), pioneers in seasonal hurricane forecasts, presented their outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season and indicated that the current season was going to be "extremely active," with 23 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and five hurricanes of category 3 or higher.
These figures far exceed the average of the last 30 years, which is 14 named storms, seven hurricanes, three of which are category 3 or higher in the Atlantic, according to the 44-page report.
Just a week ago, Cuba was hit by Hurricane Oscar, which resulted in a preliminary toll of seven fatalities in Guantánamo province and significant material losses. Likewise, Helene impacted the state of Florida, United States.
