2015 Atlantic Hurricane season begins 1st June

Members urged to update contact information

Members are urged to update your contact information so that you receive regular updates from the Cayman Islands Government for this year’s Atlantic Hurricane season which begins on 1st June.

The first storm, Ana, developed a month before the official start of the season, becoming the first pre-season tropical or subtropical cyclone since 2012’s Beryl, the earliest-forming cyclone since 2003’s Ana, and the second-earliest cyclone on record to strike the United States.

Despite the unusually early start, an ongoing El Nino event was forecast by many organisations to limit tropical cyclone activity in the Caribbean basin throughout the season. That should not give members any false sense of security. Be sure to review and test your hurricane plan this month and to purchase any supplies that you may require.
