Cuba’s meteorology institute (INSMET) informed that the heavy rains hitting Cuba's eastern region will continue on Friday and Saturday.
The institution reported on Cuban TV that the most worrying thing is the heavy rainfalls on already saturated soil that could cause further flooding.
A trough over southeastern Cuba with an extensive area of clouds is producing showers and thunderstorms. Tropical cyclonic development in the western Caribbean, where Jamaica and Haiti are already experiencing heavy rains, should not be ruled out.
The National Civil Defense General Staff, INSMET, and the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INRH) keep a watchful eye on the situation. (PL)
