P-to-P, July 1, 2024 [AlterPresse] — Showers remain possible, in the afternoon and evening, until Wednesday, July 3, 2024, in several geographic departments in Haiti, during the passage, in the Caribbean, of a category 4 hurricane, named “Beryl” which would be “extremely dangerous”, according to a bulletin from the Hydro-meteorological Unit (Uhm), consulted by the online agency AlterPresse.
These precipitations will mainly affect the Northeast, the Central Plateau, Artibonite, the Southeast, the South, Grande Anse and the West, where the metropolitan area of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is located.
The Uhm declares that it is monitoring the evolution of Hurricane Béryl, which is heading towards the Lesser Antilles, in order to inform the authorities and the population in good time, in the event of a possible change in trajectory.
Hurricane Beryl is not expected to directly affect Haiti, she reassures.
However, “Béryl” is likely to produce, from the afternoon of Tuesday July 2, 2024, moderate to heavy rain, accompanied by gusty winds, during its passage through the Caribbean Sea.
Windy and foggy in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon with a strong feeling of heat in the afternoon and evening.
The temperature varies between 36 and 20 degrees Celsius.
Waves can reach heights of up to 8 feet on the southern coasts, 6 feet on the northern coasts and 5 feet in the Gulf of Gonâve.
The UHM calls on sailors of sailboats or small boats to exercise caution, particularly offshore, as the sea will be rough on the coasts. [emb rc apr 1er/07/2024 12:50]
