Back to our regular scheduled Cayman hurricane news that so many of you crave! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The temperatures in Cayman have been super warm. On my last dive, I recorded water temperature of 84, which is desirable in a swimming pool, not the ocean.\u00a0 The hotter the ocean, the more powerful storms we get.<\/p>\n

Out in the Atlantic action is gearing up.\u00a0 Here is today’s map from the NHC in Miami.\u00a0 The two systems of note have just left Africa and are making their way west towards the Caribbean and USA.\u00a0\u00a0 Still a bit far for a clear forecast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The one farthest to the right is the most “interesting” for us in Cayman.\u00a0 The reason : its lower.\u00a0 Typically, what I have seen in the time have been here is that if it starts out higher (like No. 1 just above it, closer to the Cap Verde Islands – the small dots off the African coast), they tend to curve north to the Bahamas, Bermuda or the US coast.<\/p>\n

When they start off lower, then they have a better chance of entering the Caribbean basin and thats no good.\u00a0 However, as you can see below, its still very far off and the computer models are nowhere near a consensus to its long term tracking.<\/p>\n

For those of you who want some more technical information about these systems, Jeff Masters of Wunderground (where I took the above picture) has a great weather blog (he is a meteorologist …) It can be found here.<\/p>\n

Should be interesting in the next few weeks, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
