Currently en Puerto Rico — 2 de noviembre 2023: Advertencia por calor, no importa el calendario

Advertencia de Calor
El miércoles habrá sido el día más despejado de la semana laboral, pero aún se espera un poco de sol el jueves en Puerto Rico ya que el aire permanecerá relativamente seco y prevalecerá una zona de alta presión sobre la región. Sin embargo, la humedad irá aumentando a lo largo del día, por lo que serán posibles aguaceros por la tarde, especialmente en el sur. Estos se moverán rápidamente por la isla, así que no se espera que depositen grandes cantidades de lluvia. Dado que las condiciones serán más secas en el norte, habrá una preocupación por el calor excesivo nuevamente; estará vigente una Advertencia de Calor debido a índices de calor de hasta 108-111 grados.

What you need to know, currently.
With water temperatures in the North Atlantic Ocean at far-and-away record highs, one of the strongest-ever cyclonic storms to hit northwest Europe made landfall in the UK early Thursday.
According to the UK Met Office, Storm Ciarán underwent “explosive cyclogenesis” on Wednesday, rapidly deepening to a central pressure of 950mb — one of the strongest ever recorded in western Europe. According to UK-based climate scientist Ed Hawkins, “Only two other similar events for pressure in observational records - 25/02/1989 and 25/12/1821.”
Heavy rain and strong winds around hurricane-force will affect Ireland, the UK, France, Spain, and Portugal on Thursday.
Storm Ciarán Is now slamming northwest France with sustained hurricane force winds likely occurring. Red wind warnings are in effect. A high-impact wind event is unfolding.
