Update on Hurricane Beryl
July 3, 2024 update: The passing of Hurricane Beryl was thankfully uneventful for Bonaire.Β
Hurricane Beryl is currently a Category 4 and is a powerful hurricane in the Caribbean Sea. Even though the storm is expected to pass north of the ABC islands, a code orange has just been issued for the neighboring island of Curaçao, according to the Caribbean Weather Center. Bonaire, Aruba, and Curaçao are expected to have rough seas due to the expected swells from Beryl. This counts for all coastal shores. Waves on Tuesday could reach 3 meters high and cause coastal damage.
Increasing surges may affect our coast in the coming days, so please be careful! STINAPA advises to take into account the weather and sea conditions. Boat owners, especially, must take measures to protect their property and find a safe place to store their boats. ππ¨ π§π¨π π₯πππ―π ππ‘π ππ¨ππ ππππππ‘ππ ππ¨ ππ‘π π¦π¨π¨π«π’π§π π¬.
