Hurricanes in Cuba

Travel information

Hurricanes are tropical cyclones. Danger arises through very high wind speeds, waves and heavy rainfalls. In Cuba a common word for a hurricane is 'ciclon'. Season is from May through November. Traditionally, through its well organized system of civil protection Cuba is better prepared for hurricanes then the USA or other countries of the Caribbean. Cuba suffers less loss of human life. Is is not safe from substantial material damages though.

Below, you can check the current weather status obtained from the US hurricane center.

Hurricane season: June through October/November

Tropical Weather Outlook 
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 
800 PM EDT Tue Sep 10 2024 
 
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: 
 
Active Systems: 
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane  
Francine, located in the western Gulf of Mexico, well offshore of  
southern Texas. 
 
Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92):  
An elongated area of low pressure located over the central tropical  
Atlantic continues to produce some disorganized shower and  
thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions appear marginally  
conducive for some slight development during the next day or two  
while the system moves westward at 5 to 10 mph over the central  
tropical Atlantic.  The disturbance is expected to reach an area of  
drier air on Thursday, likely ending its chances for development. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.  
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent. 
 
Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic (AL93): 
A trough of low pressure over the eastern tropical Atlantic is  
producing a large but disorganized area of showers and  
thunderstorms from near the Cabo Verde Islands extending   
southwestward for several hundred miles.  Environmental conditions  
appear favorable for gradual development of this system, and a  
tropical depression will likely form during the latter part of this  
week while the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.  
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent. 
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Francine was
located near latitude 26.4 North, longitude 94.3 West. Francine is
moving toward the northeast near 10 mph (17 km/h).   A faster
northeastward motion is expected through Wednesday.  On the forecast
track, Francine is anticipated to make landfall in Louisiana
Wednesday afternoon or evening. After landfall, the center is
expected to move northward into Mississippi Wednesday night and
Thursday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Additional strengthening is expected through Wednesday
morning.  Francine is expected to weaken quickly after it
moves inland.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles
(185 km).
 
The minimum central pressure based on data from the Air Force and
NOAA Hurricane Hunters is 980 mb (28.94 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Hurricane Francine can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1 and WMO
header WTNT41 KNHC.
 
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the hurricane
warning area Wednesday afternoon, with tropical storm conditions
arriving in the warning area Wednesday morning. Hurricane
conditions are possible in the Hurricane Watch area Wednesday
afternoon and Wednesday night.
 
Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area along
the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama Wednesday and 
Wednesday night.
 
RAINFALL:  Francine is expected to bring storm total rainfall of 4
to 8 inches, with local amounts to 12 inches across eastern
Louisiana, Mississippi, far southern Alabama and the western
Florida Panhandle through Friday morning. This rainfall could lead
to considerable flash and urban flooding.
 
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Francine, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total
Rainfall Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk
graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?ero.
 
STORM SURGE:  The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline.  The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
 
Vermilion/Cameron Line, LA to Port Fourchon, LA...5-10 ft
Vermilion Bay...5-10 ft
Port Fourchon, LA to Mouth of the Mississippi River, LA...4-7 ft
Cameron, LA to Vermilion/Cameron Line, LA...3-5 ft
Pointe a la Hache, LA to MS/AL Border...3-5 ft
Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas...3-5 ft
 
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
the east of the landfall location, where the surge will be
accompanied by large and dangerous waves.  Surge-related flooding
depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and
can vary greatly over short distances.  Storm surge is not expected
to pose a threat to the risk reduction system levees.  However,
there may be some overtopping of local levees.  For information
specific to your area, please see products issued by your local
National Weather Service forecast office.
 
For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge
inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak
Storm Surge Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?peakSurge.
 
TORNADOES:  A few tornadoes are possible Wednesday into Wednesday
night across parts of southeast Louisiana, southern Mississippi,
southern Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Francine are affecting much of the 
northern and northwestern Gulf Coast.  These swells are likely
to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.

Hurricane Francine Discussion Number  10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062024
1000 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2024
 
Both the NOAA and Air Force Hurricane Hunters have been
investigating Francine tonight, and the data they collected were the
basis for upgrading it to a hurricane a few hours ago.  The
maximum 700 mb flight-level wind measured was 76 kt, which supports
an intensity of about 65 kt.  The aircraft data also indicated that
the minimum pressure has fallen several millibars to 980 mb.  Deep
convection has been increasing near the center, and radar images
indicate that an inner core has developed.  There is still some dry
air, however, outside of the core region.
 
Francine is starting to move a little faster to the northeast, with 
the latest initial motion estimated to be 035/9 kt.  A mid- to 
upper-level trough over Texas is approaching the hurricane, and that 
should cause it to accelerate northeastward toward the Louisiana 
coast, with landfall expected there late Wednesday afternoon or 
evening.  After Francine moves inland, a turn to the north-northeast 
and a decrease in forward speed is predicted while it moves across 
eastern Louisiana and Mississippi.  The models are in good 
agreement, and little change was made to the previous track 
forecast.
 
Now that Francine has a well organized core, significant
strengthening seems likely through Wednesday morning while the
system remains over very warm waters and in low wind shear
conditions.  The hurricane regional models are quite aggressive and
show Francine strengthening quickly, while the dynamical-statistical
models show much less intensification.  The NHC intensity forecast
is between those solutions and continues to show Francine nearing
category 2 strength Wednesday morning. A notable increase in shear
and intrusions of dry air should end the opportunity for
strengthening just before Francine reaches the coast. Rapid
weakening is expected after the cyclone moves inland.
 
An experimental cone graphic that includes inland Hurricane and
Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings in the U.S. is now available on
the NHC website. Due to the time needed to compile the inland watch
and warning information, the experimental cone graphic will not be
available as quickly as the operational cone. Once it is available,
the experimental cone graphic can be found from a red weblink above
the operational cone graphic at
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?cone#contents. Users are
encouraged to take the experimental product survey found below the
experimental cone.
 
KEY MESSAGES:
 
1. There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge on
Wednesday for the Louisiana and Mississippi coastlines, where a
Storm Surge Warning is in effect.  Residents in the warning area
should follow advice, including evacuation orders, given by local
officials.
 
2. Damaging and life-threatening hurricane-force winds are expected
in portions of southern Louisiana on Wednesday, where a Hurricane
Warning is in effect. Preparations to protect life and property
should be complete, since tropical storm conditions are expected to
begin within this area early Wednesday.
 
3. Francine is expected to bring heavy rainfall and the risk of
considerable flash and urban flooding across eastern Louisiana,
Mississippi, far southern Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle
through Thursday.  Flash and urban flooding is probable across the
Lower Tennessee Valley and Lower Mississippi Valley Wednesday night
into Friday morning.

We are frequently asked: How are we supposed to behave as a tourist when we get surprised on the island?

Two simple rules:
1. Stay home.
2. Follow the orders of the Civil Protection authorities.

All our Casas have a solid construction base, none is made of wood.

Officially a hurricane starts when wind speed exceeds 118 Km/hour. But even at 50 Km/h persons are advised to seek protection.
