Granma province, recently shaken by earthquakes last Sunday, is facing a high chance of rainfall this Tuesday, according to reports from local meteorologists. The current atmospheric instability is linked to an active tropical wave combined with a trough, explained Ezequiel Cadrelo Corria, an expert at the Provincial Meteorological Center.
The official press in Granma has highlighted this weather forecast, as the southern region of the province has been severely impacted by two earthquakes and numerous aftershocks.
Potential Tropical Depression in the Caribbean
On Monday, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued a warning about a 40 percent chance for the development of a tropical depression in the western Caribbean Sea. Their bulletin stated that while there is a 10% chance of formation over the next two days, this probability increases to 50% over the next seven days.
"A cluster of disorganized showers and thunderstorms south of Hispaniola in the central Caribbean is linked to a tropical wave. This system is expected to move slowly westward in the coming days, with environmental conditions appearing favorable for gradual development. A tropical depression might form by the end of this week or the weekend as it drifts over the western Caribbean," the report noted.
Ongoing Cyclonic Threats
Although the Atlantic hurricane season officially ends on November 30, weather threats continue to be a concern.
