Tropical update
Monitoring: One wave, two waves

Monitoring the tropics. Tropical waves

Upslope we continue to go, with less than 20 days from the peak of hurricane season and we are monitoring tropical waves coming out of Africa.

The first one is located several hundreds of miles west of Cabo Verde Islands. This wave is traveling west-northwest up to 15 mph. Expect any development to be slow as it is taking its sweet time to travel the long Atlantic journey.

Track the tropical disturbance in our WeatherRadar

There is a low chance in the next 5 days to develop and if it happens it would likely be just to the northeast of the Leeward Islands.

Another day, another tropical wave

The tropical wave parade off the west coast of Africa will continue rampant. Although the next wave if expected to emerge from the continent in a couple of days, there is a chance it could develop just around the Cabo Verde Islands as weather conditions are expected to be conducive for this system to form before it tracks too much west.

All other areas across the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico are quiet.

We will continue to monitor the tropics closely and bring you prompt updates.

6 easy steps to take now to be ready

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. 155 mph winds. . Weather Videos. Wednesday, July 8, 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
