The threat of trop­i­cal cy­clone de­vel­op­ment from a trop­i­cal wave ap­proach­ing the Caribbean has di­min­ished, but fore­cast­ers are turn­ing their at­ten­tion to an­oth­er sys­tem far­ther east in the At­lantic that could en­counter more favourable con­di­tions for de­vel­op­ment.

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice (TTMS) said Tues­day that the first trop­i­cal wave, now ap­prox­i­mate­ly 1,300 kilo­me­tres east of the Wind­ward Is­lands, is no longer ex­pect­ed to be­come bet­ter or­gan­ised.

Its chance of de­vel­op­ing in­to a trop­i­cal cy­clone over the next sev­en days has fall­en to ze­ro per cent.
