Hurricane update - 28 August

Hurricane Danielle is expected to pass to the east of Bermuda, spreading tropical stormforce (galeforce and higher) winds over the island. Beyond that, the cyclone will weaken and transform into a normal depression, which is not anticipated to affect western Europe - it will head north towards Greenland.

Tropical storm Earl is headed for the Leeward Islands, and people in the islands of Saba, St Eustatius, Saint Martin / St Maarten, Saint Barthelemy, Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla. This means that tropical storm conditions could affect these islands within the next 48 hours. By the end of that period, Earl is expected to be a category 2 hurricane, passing just north of the island chain.

Please relay.

  2. Batten down the hatches just in case. It looks like both will miss you.
