The first Hurricane of the 2015 Atlantic season has formed and it’s heading straight for the Eastern Caribbean.
Danny is a category 1 Hurricane which is threatening cruise operations in the Eastern Caribbean. The good news is that the Hurricane is not a category 5 which is the strongest and is not expected to strengthen. The National Hurricane Center has posted that Danny is heading West-Northwestward over the Atlantic Ocean. Maximum sustained winds are 80 mph and is moving at a speed of 10 mph towards the Caribbean.
On Saturday, August 22nd Danny is expected to weaken and at the moment there are no coastal warnings in effect.
