Miami (USA), Aug 25 (EFE) .- The National Hurricane Center (NHC, in English) reported Monday that the Tropical Fernand storm that is currently in the North Atlantic will move towards the Northeast, moving away from the east coast of the United States and Canada, which does not represent, in principle, a risk for the population.
The sixth system so far from hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean is currently 685 kilometers northeast of Bermuda, while moving away northeast at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour (13 miles per hour), the NHC said in its last bulletin.
The maximum sustained winds of this tropical storm reach 95 kilometers per hour, added the body based in Miami, indicating that there was no warning in force.
Although the NHC indicated that it expects few changes today in its intensity, Fernand will begin to weaken from Tuesday, and predict that the storm becomes a postropical cyclone on Wednesday.
Fernand develops a week after Erin, the first hurricane of the season in the Atlantic, approached the American coast, especially North Carolina, where he caused the evacuation of some small islands.
The NHC issued several warnings by Erin, which emerged as a storm near Cabo Verde in Africa, where he left seven dead, and subsequently caused heavy rains and winds as he passed through the Caribbean, while in the United States he led to cyclonic dizzy that the weather authorities warned that they were a risk to human life.
Before Erin, the Cyclones Andrea, Barry, Chantal and Dexter formed in the Atlantic.
Chantal was the first to play soil this year in the US, where he caused two dead in July in North Carolina.
The Oceanic and Atmospheric National Administration (NOAA) estimates a “higher than normal” cyclonic season, by forecasting between 13 and 18 tropical storms, of which between five and nine could be transformed into hurricanes.
