Tropical Depression 5 set to affect Cancun

Just when it’s been a very quiet season a Tropical Depression develops. When I first checked this out a few hours ago the 5 day tracking map had it headed directly for Cancun.

The latest update shows it being pushed northwards, and that trend is likely to continue. It hasn’t even reached Tropical Storm status yet, let alone Hurricane status. If it does progress to hurricane status then it will be named Hurricane Ernesto. Hopefully, it will bring nothing more than a few days of cloud and some rain - and that wont be for about another 5 days in any case. It may miss us altogether, just too early to tell but something to keep an eye on.

For the latest on the storm development then you should follow advice from the National Hurricane Centre Site
