It’s been a few days….so it’s time for another thrilling weather update! After muddling through the confusing array of weather forecasts, tracking models and satellite images, I have come to the conclusion that there will be some sunny days this week, but by the weekend more rain may well arrive!
Current Weather Conditions = CLEARING!!
The giant cloud that has been sitting on top of the Dominican Republic for the last few days, looks to be finally heading North, so the sky should CLEAR leaving us with some sunny days ahead…
Coming soon – another Tropical Depression!
Currently located 2128 miles from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, is a “High Potential Disturbance” – which has a 70% chance of developing into a “Tropical Cyclone” – which based on early predictions (which are generally hugely inaccurate or completely wrong) seems to be headed this way.
Fortunately, this “High Potential Disturbance” is (at this stage) only predicted to become a Tropical Depression. Tropical Depressions have maximum sustained winds of no more than 54km/h (nothing to worry about), but they do tend to bring rather a lot of rain…..
IF this potential Tropical Depression does end up coming near or across the Dominican Republic it shouldn’t be arriving until the weekend – so for now, relax and enjoy the sunshine on the golf course!!
