Here is the latest weather Press cyclonic activity for Guadeloupe.

Interregional Directorate AntillesGuyane
Tuesday, August 25, 2015 05 AM
Press cyclonic activity
Good evening,
As expected, the strong tropical wave over the central Atlantic became the fifth cyclonic phenomenon of the season. He has been named directly to a tropical storm with ERIKA name. It is expected that it increases to tropical storm force passing on Guadeloupe and the Northern Islands and then hurricane continuing its course to the west.
Erika is situated about 1200 km east of the Lesser Antilles and moving quickly westward at the speed of 31km / h. This trajectory is expected to continue for the next days and the Lesser Antilles would then be concerned for Thursday afternoon. Uncertainty remains fairly important, both in terms of the final trajectory of and concerning the intensity.
It should be in its conditions to monitor this feature very carefully.

Tropical Storm Erika is Born in Atlantic, Threatens Leeward Islands at Midweek
By Brett Rathbun, AccuWeather.com Meteorologist
August 25, 2015; 6:50 AM ET
http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n ... t/52021729
Tropical Storm Erika formed on Monday night and will track toward the Leeward Islands later this week.
As Tropical Rainstorm Danny tracks across the northern Caribbean islands, Erika will follow a similar track and bring another round of welcome rainfall.
This system will be steered westward by a large dome of high pressure across the Atlantic during much of this week.
"Erika will closely follow the track of Danny and approach the Leeward Islands later this week," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Rinde said.
Erika is located about 840 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
"Erika will be moving through an environment with warm waters and generally low wind shear," AccuWeather Meteorologist Robert Richards said.
"This environment will be conducive for further development over the next couple days," he added.
Tropical systems are most likely to strengthen in areas of weak wind shear. If wind shear is too strong, the system becomes disorganized and weakens.
Wind shear is when strong winds near the surface and aloft blow strongly from different directions," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
Danny thrived late last week in a zone of low wind shear. Once it moved into an area of increasing wind shear near the Leeward Islands, the system weakened rapidly.
While Erika is forecast to strengthen over the next several days, wind shear may again cause it to weaken or prevent any further strengthening when approaching the Leeward Islands. A track into the northern islands of the Caribbean would bring another dose of needed rainfall.
Much of the eastern half of Puerto Rico is under at least a severe drought, according to the United States Drought Monitor. Because of this, water rationing programs are in effect on the eastern side of the island.
If this system slices north of the Leeward Islands, where wind shear is somewhat lower, then it could survive and perhaps strengthen again. In this scenario, steering winds north of the Caribbean Islands will likely allow the system to track northwestward and then northward over the western part of the Atlantic basin.
Erika is predicted to move across the northern Caribbean as a strong tropical storm, but it could be as strong as a minimal Category 1 hurricane from late this week into the weekend.
According to Kottlowski, the exact path this weekend into next week is uncertain at this time.
"All interests in the northeast Caribbean, Bahamas, Florida and the Southeast United States should closely monitor the progression of this system," Kottlowski said.
The AccuWeather Hurricane Center will continue to provide information on Erika, as well as all other tropical features across all ocean basins.
Despite a quiet first half of the hurricane season across the Atlantic, late August and through September are typically the peak of tropical activity.
At this point in the hurricane season, water temperatures are at their warmest. This gives disturbances moving across the Atlantic from Africa the best chance for development.
In May, AccuWeather predicted eight tropical storms, four of those to become hurricanes across the Atlantic Basin during 2015. Erika is the fifth tropical storm of the season with Danny being the only storm becoming a hurricane.

Tropical Storm Erika Has Formed in the Atlantic; Tropical Storm Watches Issued For Leeward Islands
Published Aug 25 2015 09:42 AM EDT
weather.com
http://www.weather.com/storms/hurricane ... ugust-2015
Highlights
•Tropical Storm Erika formed late Monday night in the central Atlantic and is about 840 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
•Tropical storm watches were posted Tuesday morning for parts of the Leeward Islands, and additional watches and or warnings may be required soon.
•Erika is expected to remain a tropical storm and gather strength as it moves quickly to the west.
•The northern Leeward Islands may feel tropical storm-force winds by late Wednesday night into early Thursday.
•Erika may then bring more rain to drought-suffering Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
•Erika's future track and intensity beyond Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands is highly uncertain.
Tropical Storm Erika formed Monday night about 955 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and is moving quickly westward at about 20 mph.
For the next couple of days, Erika will be moving through an environment characterized by a moist air mass, low vertical wind shear and warm water. This should allow some strengthening.
Just like we saw with Danny, Erika will eventually have to battle wind shear and some dry air as it nears the Carribean. This complicates both the intensity and track forecasts.
Due to this fast movement, Erika is already expected to arrive in the northern Leeward islands Wednesday night or early Thursday with tropical storm-force winds and heavy rain, prompting tropical storm watches to be issued early Tuesday morning for Montserrat, Antigua, Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Aguilla, Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten.
This is the second time in less than three days watches have been hoisted in the Leeward Islands, done so this past weekend ahead of Tropical Storm Danny, whose remnants are sliding through the Caribbean ahead of Erika.
Additional watches may be required in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, as Erika may spread rain and wind into those drought-suffering areas Thursday into early Friday.
Beyond that, the forecast has a large amount of uncertainty, due to a potential track over land in the Caribbean and interaction with the aforementioned wind shear.
A stronger Erika may get pulled farther northwest, while a weaker Erika would track farther west and south.
All interests in Hispanola, The Bahamas, Cuba and the southeast United States should continue to monitor the progress of Erika.

The ERIKA tropical storm formed last night at 1600 km of the Lesser Antilles. His speed displacement is significant, near 30 km / h, and the first track forecasts expect a passage on the northern Leewards , during the night of Wednesday to Thursday at strong tropical storm status. At this time, the uncertainty about the exact path of Erika is still important.
Observed data:
First current forecasts circulate ERIKA north of Guadeloupe. Our islands would therefore not exposed to the most significant effects associated with this feature, however severe degradation of the weather is expected for the night of Wednesday to Thursday with stronger winds and the establishment of stormy rain that can bring significant rainfall accumulations.

SINT MAARTEN – NV GEBE will be embarking upon an awareness campaign to bridge the information gap between the company and the community. The company has made improvements in different areas and strives to continue to improve its service to it customers thereby building a constructive healthy relationship.
A marketing officer, will be hired by the company that will carry out a long-term campaign, with respect to the products and services that the company provides to the Sint Maarten community.
The initiative for the awareness campaign and bringing the company closer to the community came from the newly appointed Commercial Manager Iris Arrindell. Arrindell officially started in her new position as of July 1st. Arrindell is also the first woman in the company’s 55-year history to be appointed to a management position.
At a recent press conference, NV GEBE’s Chief Financial Officer Rene Gartner mentioned how the company has made a number of investments such as electric meters; where the company has moved from the old analog to digital meters.
The company has also started to install digital water meters which would allow NV GEBE to be proactive in monitoring water meter output from the perspective of whether its leaking or has been tampered with. The client will then be informed about the matter and corrective actions can be taken.
The electric meters that NV GEBE has also started to install will be able to detect irregularities, and tampering. The new smart meters will allow the company to deliver better services to the community over time.
One of the key components of NV GEBEs public awareness campaign is to educate the populace in connection with ‘easy payment.’ In order to cut the long month-end lines at the company’s two bill payment locations, the company will be informing its customers about how easy it is to pay their bills by using information technology.
NV GEBE will also look at opening other service payment points in different districts. The company is now studying the cost factor and what options they have at their disposal. If the company decides to build their own building the construction timeline would be approximately 12-months and the possibility exist that a temporary location could be used in the meantime while construction takes place.
NV GEBE senior citizens relief program has been successful and the number of seniors who have made use of it has grown from 318 in 2014 to 683 in 2015.
