Saline beach after the construction boom
 
here we go,guys.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially starts on June 1, but if recent long-range runs of the GFS model are correct, the season could get off to an early start. The GFS model has been predicting that late next week, an area of disturbed weather over Central America will act as the seed to get a tropical storm spinning in the Western Caribbean. Water temperatures there are near 28°C (82°F)—about 0.5°C above average, and plenty warm enough to support a hurricane. The subtropical jet stream—which is typically located over the Caribbean in May, creating high wind shear that interferes with hurricane development—is predicted to lift northwards by late next week, creating conditions favorable for tropical cyclone genesis. However, the long range runs of the European model have not been supporting this idea, and the GFS forecasts of a tropical storm in the Caribbean late next week should be viewed as interesting, but improbable—worth lifting one eyebrow at, but not two.
 
A quick update from the island...A near full Isola last night.A mix of locals and tourists.Very good food and service as usual.

Les scientifiques ont mesuré ce qui pourrait être la plus haute vague jamais recensée dans l'hémisphère Sud, un monstre de 23,8 mètres de haut, soit l'équivalent d'un immeuble de huit étages. Elle a été enregistrée mardi dans l'océan Austral, réputé pour la violence de ses tempêtes, près de Campbell Island, à environ 700 kilomètres au sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande, a annoncé MetOcean Solutions, un consultant en océanographie.

(highest wave ever recorded in southern hemisphere:almost 24 meters high)

Massive heatwave in south pole (again)...heatwave is back over north Africa
Luckily,water is still cold on the east coast of Africa and mid atlantic

No threat to the island
But it massively sucks to have to keep an eye on these maps for the next 5-6 months.
For the moment,the cold snap in the atlantic ocean is gaining strength .It should limit heat content.(fingers crossed)

A quick post about the situation of Sargassum on the island
Please find 4 photos :public beach,Lorient,and the 2 St Jean beaches.
As you can see,the weather is incredible and the beaches just perfect.
