Tropical Disturbance in Atlantic Has 50% Chance of Developing Into Cyclone

18 August 2025 - 08:34

Forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) are keeping a close watch on a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic that currently has a 50% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next seven days.

The system, designated Disturbance 1, is moving through an area of warm ocean waters and moderate atmospheric conditions, which could support further organization. While it is not yet a tropical storm, meteorologists caution that the disturbance could strengthen if conditions remain favorable.

At this stage, forecasters say the potential cyclone poses no immediate threat to land, but residents of islands and coastal areas in the Caribbean and western Atlantic are encouraged to monitor updates regularly.

  4. Let us pray, if develop, it stays away from all landmasses. Majority of the residents on these islands trains doesn’t have or can’t afford affordable shelter or accommodation that can withstands against any storms/hurricanes.

  5. The warmer waters make development more likely, so people should prepare regardless.
