Three tropical waves are currently crossing the Atlantic Ocean towards the West Indies. Located near the African coasts, their trajectories remain uncertain but all have a potential for cyclonic development.
The month of September is considered by meteorologists to be the most active of the hurricane season and the latest models of environmental conditions in the North Atlantic basin confirm the trend. In addition to the two cyclonic phenomena, tropical storm Nana and the Omar depression, which is harmless to the West Indian islands, there are three zones of disturbance located near the African coast. “The first disturbed zone is located halfway between the West Indian arc and the African coasts. It has a low probability, estimated at 30% over the next 5 days, of evolving into a cyclonic phenomenon. The second zone corresponds to a tropical wave which will leave the African coasts to begin its movement over the Atlantic Ocean. It also has a low probability, estimated at 20% over the next 5 days, of evolving into a cyclonic phenomenon. The last zone also corresponds to a tropical wave, which is located near the Cape Verde Islands. This has, on the other hand, a "strong probability, estimated at 70% over the next 5 days, of evolving into a cyclonic phenomenon", notes Météo France in its current report on cyclonic activity.
