For all you fellow weather-watching fanatics (at this time of year if you live in Casa de Campo or the Dominican Republic – you should be!), I bring you good news! Tropical Depression 14 has now developed into Tropical Storm Maria as predicted, but she is no longer predicted to become a hurricane at all!

Of course as I have mentioned before predictions of ‘category’ are on AVERAGE up to 2 categories off…which means we should be keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Maria in case she decides to cause some trouble – but for now at least it looks like Tropical Storm Maria shouldn’t be causing us too many problems in the future! Hoooray!
