Tropical wave n°25 is located around 1,000 km south-west of Cape Verde. It is under surveillance by the National Hurricane Center. This wave presents a "high risk of developing into a cyclonic phenomenon within two days and seven days", explains Météo France in its bulletin dated Thursday September 4 at 5:58 pm. It is expected to encounter conditions conducive to strengthening over the next few days, and should become a cyclonic phenomenon by the end of this week. Since last night," says Météo France, "OT 25 has been showing the first signs of organization: rainstorm activity has increased and is slowly beginning to take shape. Conditions are forecast to deteriorate over the Lesser Antilles by the middle of next week. The extent of this deterioration will depend on the trajectory and intensity of the phenomenon as it passes close to the Lesser Antilles. Météo France writes in its bulletin: "The passage window for the phenomenon is between the end of the night of Tuesday September 9 and Wednesday September 10, and mid-day on Thursday September 11. The extent of this deterioration will depend on the trajectory and intensity of the phenomenon as it passes close to the Lesser Antilles. " However, at this stage, Météo France points out that it is not yet possible to specify which French territory will be most exposed. Nevertheless, this Thursday's bulletin points out: "According to the latest updated forecasts from all numerical weather prediction models, the range of possible scenarios remains wide but is now centered on the Lesser Antilles."
Vigilance is therefore called for. As a reminder, the special supplement of the Journal de Saint-Barth dedicated to the hurricane season can be downloaded from our website (Le Journal de la saison cyclonique).
