Weather and Natural Disasters
Weather and Natural Disasters
Posted by Viola Woolcott
There are some holiday destinations that may be affected by certain weather patterns. For example:
=> tropical storms
=> monsoons
=> hurricanes
=> typhoons,
=> flooding
=> seismic activity which could lead to earthquakes and tidal waves
To give you an example, in general between June and November is ‘hurricane’ season. The affected areas are:
** Atlantic
** Caribbean Sea
** Gulf of Mexico
As weather patterns are always changing, it could also happen at different times of the year. Be aware that weather advice can on many occasions vary.
Storms as well as natural disasters can disrupt your travel arrangements significantly, but it is very difficult to predict the actual path, duration or even the effects of severe weather condition and seismic activities accurately. Natural disasters are beyond our control.
