Météo France Martinique maintains the YELLOW vigilance level at the end of the day from Saturday September 30, 2023 until Monday October 2 evening “at least”.
Martinique remained on alert on Saturday, September 30, 2023 due to “humid and unstable conditions favoring the development of thunderstorms.”
Tropical Storm Philippe (…) has no direct impact on Martinique. However, it leads to the collapse of the trade winds and wet and unstable conditions that favor the development of thunderstorms. These stormy showers will subside in the evening. The calm will continue into the morning, with a few more showers without significant accumulation.
Sunday, October 1st, “fairly early in the morning, cloudy developments are expected over the reliefs with an extension more towards the Atlantic coast”. These new cloud episodes “should produce locally heavy and stormy rainfall again, with accumulations of 40 to 60 mm or even 80 mm, by the evening,” forecasters continued.
On Saturday afternoon, “the highest accumulations of stormy showers were recorded in the south of the island.” Therefore, caution remains necessary.
