Significant tropical weather systems:
Erin continues as a hurricane, currently tracking north-northwestward over the western section of the Atlantic Ocean. This tropical system poses no direct threat to the ABC Islands.

This phenomenon occurs twice annually, with the next occurrence expected on April 21, 2026.
