Hurricane update - 20 July

Tropical depression Cosme is approaching Hawaii, and although it does not carry very strong winds, the local weather service have issued a number of watches and warnings for the next 24 hours. Cosme is expected to drift west, and over the dateline early next week.

There is no cause for grave concern, although rainfalls of 5 to 10 inches could bring on flash floods. Winds will be at a maximum of 30 knots (that's force 7 on the Beaufort scale), with higher gusts on the mountainous terrain. Detailed advisories are accessible on this link.

If you have friends or relatives in Hawaii, please make them aware.

  1. Saw small blurbs about Cosme in Skyguard, wasn't sure.  They don't give much space while things are still classified as 'depressions' or watches.  That's what makes your site so enjoyable and informative, and very welcome - needed.  xoxo CATHY
