The afternoon of next Monday, November 13, 2023, on the coasts of Honduras, a hurricane could form.
This was confirmed by the Center for Atmospheric, Oceanographic and Seismic Studies (Cenaos) to Diario LA PRENSA.
“It is a system that could become a tropical storm and then a hurricane,” explained Walter Aguilar, an expert from Cenaos.
Likewise, he added that it would not be until next Monday afternoon for this phenomenon to become a hurricane.
“We are monitoring it, but we cannot know what magnitude it will be because it has not even developed winds,” Aguilar said.
This phenomenon is gaining strength north of Cape Gracias a Dios.
