From the morning, rain will be there, with <strong>thunderstorms<\/strong> possible from 8 a.m. Areas particularly affected by <strong>heavy rain<\/strong> will be the Grand Cul de Sac Marin and the relief of Soufri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lull is expected in the evening, but new <strong>thunderstorms<\/strong> could make their return during the night from Sunday to Monday. However, sunshine is expected for Monday afternoon. Stay safe, avoid using electrical appliances during storms and don&rsquo;t seek shelter under trees!<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"La Guadeloupe plac\u00e9e en vigilance rouge \u00ab fortes pluies et orages \u00bb\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5PdMt6DTFT8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of this morning, the <strong>Guadeloupe<\/strong> is again under <strong>yellow vigilance<\/strong>, with threatening storms approaching. M\u00e9t\u00e9o France announces potentially unstable weather conditions across the entire archipelago. Forecasts suggest strong <strong>showers<\/strong>, accompanied by lightning and thunder, especially around the Grand Cul de Sac Marin region and on the relief of the <strong>Soufri\u00e8re<\/strong>. The atmosphere seems rather agitated before a temporary return to calm, before new risks of storms are announced during the night from Sunday to Monday. Let&rsquo;s discover together the details of this worrying weather situation.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yellow Vigilance Details<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There <strong>yellow vigilance<\/strong> is a signal of caution. M\u00e9t\u00e9o France has warned that although conditions are not catastrophic, it is essential to remain attentive. Indeed, this can lead to <strong>difficulties on the roads<\/strong>, risks of localized flooding, and disruptions to transport. The population is encouraged to be vigilant and regularly obtain weather updates.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather Forecast: What to expect?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forecasts suggest the arrival of a mass of humid air coming from the<strong>Atlantic<\/strong>, which will bring many <strong>showers<\/strong>, especially at daybreak. From 8 a.m., these showers are likely to become <strong>locally stormy<\/strong>, causing possible disruptions. The most affected sectors are expected to be those around Grand Cul de Sac Marin, as well as the relief of Soufri\u00e8re and its surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk of thunderstorms<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Events <strong>stormy<\/strong> can sometimes surprise, by their intensity and suddenness. With this type of weather, it is common to see <strong>lightning<\/strong> and hearing shots <strong>thunder<\/strong> sound during the day. In the event of a storm, it is recommended to avoid using telephones and electrical appliances, and not to seek shelter under trees or near pylons.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on the population<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This beautiful country that is Guadeloupe faces several challenges with each stormy episode. In particular, the <strong>floods<\/strong> can quickly become problematic in certain areas. The emergency services remind us that if necessary, it is crucial to have access to reliable information, and to be ready to call the emergency services. <strong>0800 112 112<\/strong> in case of emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storm preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to do in case of <strong>storm<\/strong> or storm? It is vital to prepare a <strong>emergency kit<\/strong> containing water, non-perishable food, flashlights, and batteries. Indeed, these small gestures can make a big difference in the event of a power outage or unforeseen transport incident. Always be on guard and listen for alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calm and vigilance<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite these warnings, moments of gentle calm are also emerging. This Sunday evening should see a <strong>lull<\/strong> temporary, followed by a new stormy episode during the night. Remember that even if the storm seems to be moving away, continued vigilance is required, as Guadeloupe&rsquo;s weather is known for its rapidity of change.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After the storm<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it is advisable to wait until after the storm. Once the rains and storms have passed, you need to check the surroundings and ensure the safety of the area. Assessing potential damage, particularly to roads and infrastructure, is essential to avoid possible accidents. Conditions should stabilize, and the sun is expected to return around Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay informed<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For anyone who wants to stay informed of the weather conditions in Guadeloupe, I advise you to consult regularly <a href=\"https:\/\/meteofrance.gp\/fr\/vigilance\/guadeloupe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weather France<\/a>. Constant updates are provided, which then allows you to adapt your plans according to the vagaries of the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With regard to weather forecasts, vigilance and caution remain the best allies in the face of approaching storms. Whether for residents or visitors, it is important to respect the recommendations and stay informed. By taking all necessary precautions, everyone can approach this tumultuous period with peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And don&rsquo;t forget, after the rain comes the good weather, and in Guadeloupe, the beauty of nature is always there, ready to amaze despite the storms that may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/thunderstorms.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"find out everything about thunderstorms: causes, dangers and safety tips to protect your family and your property. learn to recognize the signs of an impending storm and how to stay safe during these natural phenomena.\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A tense atmosphere<\/strong> reigns over the archipelago at the moment. The weather forecast announces a <strong>moist air mass<\/strong> which comes from East to West, causing intermittent rain from daybreak. It&rsquo;s starting to smell <strong>thunderstorms<\/strong> which will disrupt our daily lives. Guadeloupeans are already on alert!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first drops have fallen and it is really gray this morning. There <strong>yellow vigilance<\/strong> from M\u00e9t\u00e9o France is here to remind us that it is time to remain cautious. Places like <strong>Big Sailor Bag<\/strong> and the area around the <strong>Soufri\u00e8re<\/strong> are particularly threatened. That puts us on alert a little!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we think of a quiet afternoon, it seems that it is not on the agenda. From 8 a.m., the <strong>thunderstorms<\/strong> could multiply. I can already imagine the tumultuous sounds of nature expressing itself on a large scale. It\u2019s part of our daily life in the West Indies, but we don\u2019t always appreciate the consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, a <strong>lull<\/strong> should occur in the evening, allowing minds to relax a little. But let&rsquo;s not forget, the stormy showers could return during the night from Sunday to Monday. I don\u2019t know about you, but I don\u2019t really like losing my sleep because of the thunder!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, keep your electronic devices away and avoid wooded areas. It&rsquo;s a good time to think about these <strong>precautions<\/strong> that we sometimes forget: we don\u2019t play with lightning! Once the sun decides to come out, probably around Monday afternoon, we will finally be able to breathe and find our usual air full of joy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN BRIEF Yellow alert decreed for Guadeloupe Forecast of brief rain from the morning Showers may become stormy from 8 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":375,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-classe-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":429,"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385\/revisions\/429"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decouvrirlaguadeloupe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
