Weather conditions have worsened, with the threat of a tropical storm. Guadeloupe, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy and Martinique are concerned.

This is a phenomenon of concern: OT21 or Tropical Wave 21. It is threatening the Lesser Antilles islands, with the risk of a tropical storm, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). As of Tuesday evening, Guadeloupe, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy and Martinique are in orange, as you can see on the Météo France website.

A tropical wave can develop into a potential tropical storm.

The intensity of this phenomenon is moderate in the north of the Lesser Antilles. But “it will generate very bad weather that will last from the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, with heavy rains, temporary rains, stormy winds and dangerous seas on the coast,” noted Météo France in its latest cyclone activity bulletin. “It is therefore important not to focus on the location of the center of the phenomenon, strong winds extend far from the center in a semicircle north of the track.”

Hits up to 100 km/h

Three types of danger should be taken into account, according to Météo France on alert: strong winds, heavy rains and storms and dangerous seas. Forecasts are not certain and are subject to change in accordance with the development of the phenomenon, but everyone is urged to be careful. A tropical depression or tropical storm is still possible.
