The likelihood of rain is increasing in Granma, the region most affected by the recent earthquakes

The province of Granma, the main area affected by the earthquakes that occurred last Sunday, is expected to have a high chance of rain this Tuesday, according to reports from local meteorologists.

The prevailing instability in atmospheric conditions is "associated with an active tropical wave, combined with a trough," said Ezequiel Cadrelo Corria, a specialist at the Provincial Meteorology Center.

The official Granma press echoed this forecast for a territory hit in its southern region by two earthquakes and a significant number of aftershocks.

This Monday, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned of a 40 percent chance of a tropical depression forming in the western Caribbean Sea.

In a published bulletin, the entity confirmed that for the next two days, the chances of formation are at 10%, although this increases over the next seven days, reaching 50%.

An area of disorganized rain and thunderstorms south of Hispaniola over the central Caribbean Sea is associated with a tropical wave. This system is expected to move slowly westward over the coming days, and environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development. A tropical depression could form later this week or this weekend as it meanders over the western Caribbean Sea, they indicated.

The hurricane season ends on November 30 in the Atlantic, but the weather threats show no signs of relief.
