26th tropical storm Epsilon
forms in central Atlantic
Tropical storm Epsilon, the 26th
named one of the 2005 hurricane
season, has formed in the
central Atlantic, Cuba's
Meteorological Institute (Insmet)
said on Tuesday.
The institute said that Epsilon
formed in the central Atlantic,
about 1,340 km east of Bermuda
and is moving westward at around
13kph.
The Insmet said the storm is
unlikely to threaten Cuba,
because it would maintain its
course for the next 12 to 24
hours. The storm may well
increase its wind speed, Insmet
added.
The arrival of the storm is
expected to extend the current
Atlantic hurricane season, which
officially ends on Nov. 30 in
the previous years.
