Living on a small island near the Equator can be lovely. It can also be hot and humid. When those two things combine with a low pressure system it can form a tropical cyclone. It looks like we have our first one bearing down on our little island. Based on early reports, it supposed to be a Category 1 (winds 39-63 mph), about on par with a Tropical Storm in the U.S. National Hurricane Center Scale. Not a devastating storm, and it also looks like it is only going to be a glancing blow to our island. But it adds up to more extreme weather than a mild California kid like me is used. Should make for a couple of interesting days.
