(EFE).- The Cuban Institute of Meteorology issued this Friday the first tropical cyclone warning before the storm “Bonnie” that is approaching the coast of Central America.
The information includes the possible trajectory of the second tropical storm formed in the year, which includes its passage through Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
“In the next 12 to 24 hours, this organism will continue with a similar course, slightly decreasing its translation speed, with little change in intensity to approach the east coast of Nicaragua from the end of the night and penetrate the mainland at dawn” , added the Institute of Meteorology on its Twitter account. The next notice will be at 6:00 in the afternoon.
“Bonnie” has a translation speed of 31 kilometers per hour (km/h) and is moving west, with maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h.
The Institute of Meteorology announced in May that it expected a “very active” cyclone season in the Atlantic
The Institute of Meteorology announced in May that it expected a “very active” cyclone season in the Atlantic, with up to nine potential hurricanes, at least one of which could affect Cuba.
Last hurricane season (which always begins on June 1 and ends on November 30) resulted in 21 named storms, of which seven became hurricanes, and two of them hit Cuba: Elsa and Ida.
These left damage to the roofs of houses, agriculture and the electrical system, in addition to felling trees.
The last time a large hurricane affected the Island was in 2017 when Irma crossed the north coast from east to west and left ten dead and material losses officially valued at 13,185 million dollars.
