Due to the marine weather conditions, small boats are not recommended to venture off the north and south coasts of Haiti, where the sea has been rough since yesterday and again this Friday.

The marine weather bulletin of the Haiti Hydro Weather Unit (UHM) predicts that a wind from the eastern sector is expected to blow at a speed of 10 (18.5 km / h) at 15 knots (27.7 km / h)on the northern coastal zone. The waves could reach 1.00m to 1.20m high near the coast and up to 2.10m offshore. On the south coast, small boats will also have to take precautions near the coast, especially during stormy showers.

In addition, the NOTICE of risk of floods and landslides, launched Wednesday https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-25714-haiti-notice-weather-risks-of-floods-and-landslides.html is maintained due to significant thunderstorms expected especially in the South of the country, during the next three days.

The current weather situation is favored by instability related to an area of bad weather, which was located this morning in southwestern Jamaica and a tropical wave focused on Puerto Rico.

The authorities are asking people in areas at risk of flooding, rocks fall and landslides to remain attentive and to apply rigorously the usual safety instructions in case of showers, especially strong and lasting, accompanied by thunderstorms.
