par le systeme habituel de nommer les cyclones par des prénoms - pas toujours féminins, la preuve - en ordre alphabetique croissant on a cette fois ci un symbole de l' histoire :
Ernesto revient à Cuba tirer les oreilles de Fidel !
en fait notre Che il est déja revenu de Bolivie, bien sur... mais quel clin d'oeil !
ne te fais pas de soucis pour tes amis cubains, ce n' est pas comme aux Etats Unis et ils s'occupent, à Cuba, de proteger tout le monde, ils ont un entrainement "ancestral" dans la mise à l'abri de tous. Et chaque tempete, et elles sont nombreuses, se termine avec peu de dégats et de pertes humaines, malgré leur violence.
😕J'ai des amis présentement à Holguin et j'ai entendu ce midi qu'aucun départ de Montréal n'était autorisé à cause du mauvais temps. Je vais essayer d'avoir des nouvelles et vous les communiquées
J'ai regardé ce midi le JT de France 2 et ils prévoyaient son trajet dans la mer des caraïbes, mais pas dans Cuba, sauf il passera un peu vers la Havane. Ce soir, au JT ils ont complètement modifié sa trajectoire : la tempête traversera Cuba en coupant par -comme par hazard- Ciego de Avila donc les îles Cayo Coco et Guillermo....
La tempête ne passera pas du tout sur la havane....
si on regarde sa trajectoire....elle a perdu beaucoup de force à l'approche de cuba....elle a traverser Holguin faisant très peu de domage voir pas du tout....et elle s'en va dans la mer vers les cote des keys en floride. ils prévoient qu'elle reprendra de l'ampleur dans la mer avant de toucher les keys.
Elle passera à ciego et cayo coco mais en tant que depression tropical et non en tant qu'ouragan.
De la pluie, du vent mais sans plus...d'ailleurs il fait très beau à cayo coco en ce moment.

"Ernesto reprend de la vigueur et se dirige vers la Floride
Presse Canadienne
La tempête tropicale Ernesto a frappé Cuba, touchant l'ouest de la base américaine de Guantanamo au passage, alors que des avis sont toujours en vigueur pour les provinces à l'est de l'île.
Les vents soutenus de la tempête sont maintenant tout juste à 115 kilomètres à l'heure.
Le Centre national des ouragans indique que les résidants de la Floride devraient maintenant se préparer à sentir les effets d'Ernesto.
D'ailleurs, la population floridienne est à faire des réserves d'eau, d'essence et de nourriture.
Le gouverneur de l'Etat a déjà indiqué à la population de prendre cette tempête très au sérieux.
Ernesto est blâmé pour un décès en HaJiti et des précipitations abondantes à Cuba.
En Floride, on s'attend à ce que la tempête touche terre juste au nord du Centre spatial Kennedy.
La Nasa a d'ailleurs entrepris le processus de retrait de la navette Atlantis de sa rampe de lancement, après avoir renoncé à son lancement, demain.
Cela signifie qu'on ne pourra procéder à son lancement avant une semaine. "
euh...115 km/h c'est plus qu'une "dépression tropicale"...il va encore se forsifier quand il passera sur ciego de avila, cayo coco et guillermo : c'est pile sur son trajet.
ps : cet article a été publié il y a tout juste deux heures.

comme quoi les météorologues ne peuvent pas du tout être sûr 1) de sa trajectoire et 2) de sa force comme quoi maintenant ça passe en plein dans les terres de Cuba, et de plus en plus inquiètant !
J'étais au Occidental Grand Playa Turquesa et j'en suis parti ce dimanche vers 9:00 p.m.. C'est à Raphael Freyres (quelque chose dans le genre), une commune située à 1 heure de Holguin et à peu pres pareil de Gibara. Le ciel était menacant lors de mon départ et l'ouragan de force 1 (dont le centre était à 300 km de Santiago de Cuba) s'est retrogradé en tempête tropicale en passant sur Cuba, dès le lendemain matin (lundi) et en plein au-dessus de mon hôtel.... Aparemment, y a pas vraiment de dégats mais y a eu surtout de la grosse pluie!!
Ce dimanche, les employés de l'hôtel ont sorti les hobby cats et autres embarcations de la plage pour les attacher aux arbres à l'intérieur des terres... Ils ont recouvert le matos extérieur de housses pour les protéger de la pluie et les cubains ont évacué les lieux en autobus jaune (scolaire) sauf les touristes et employés...
À part de ca, l'hôtel et le site sont superbes, et il y a une très belle végétation environnante!!!
salut val:)
j'ai eu des nouvelles de mes amis hier :))
il semblait parler seulement de grosses pluies.. mais ne semblait pas plus effrayé que cela😉

et quelqu'un a des nouvelles de personnes de cayo coco/guillermo ? le réseau téléphonique a été coupé, je recevais ses messages mais j'arrivais pas à en envoyer, son dernier message (que je n'ai pas reçu en entier) disait que la mer était très mauvaise avec d'énormes vagues (cayo guillermo)...hier à 7:00 pm heure locale
Julia, Voici les conditions actuel sur cayo coco, cuba. Ce matin 7:30 AM heure de cuba.... S'ils ont eu droit à Ernesto, c'est seulement la nuit dernière car hier soir il faisait super beau, même si la mer était agiter....et ce matin il fait toujours très beau.

Les nouvelles ne sont pas bonnes pour Cuba pour l'instant le cyclone se dirige vers Cuba il devrait toucher l'Oriente en fin de semaineà moins d'une inflexion.…
Je pensais partir a cuba debut Mars, mais il parait que le ciclone Sandy a fait beaucoup de dégats. Vaut il mieux que je retarde mon voyage. Si quelqu'un…
Voila je suis comme beaucoup de personnes (j'imagine) à la recherche d'informations sur les dégâts causés par le cyclone Dennis à Cuba, je me rends dans 4…
Nous envisagons notre voyage de noce, à cuba en Mars 2009. Rien n'est réservé, mais vu les cyclones, nous hésitons fortement, car nous avons peur des dégâts…
We want to do a few safaris, visit villages, the mountains, see tea plantations, etc. But we also want to see turtles. We love snorkeling but aren’t experts—we’re just happy to see colorful fish and coral. We’ve always wanted to see turtles too, so the idea is still to see *something* underwater 😊
Can you tell us which regions to prioritize and which to avoid given the climate at this time of year? Thanks a million!
Hi! I’m on vacation from 10/31 to 11/7 and want to go somewhere sunny. I’m leaving from Toulouse and the flight can’t be more than 5 hours.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help
Hi, I’m taking a 13-day trip from September 27 to October 9 in Prague (4 nights), Vienna (4 nights), and Budapest (3 nights), in that order. What clothes should I pack for this time of year?
Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
We’d love to visit Georgetown and the beautiful beaches of Langkawi from mid-September to early October, but we’re worried it’ll be a real steam bath 🥵
Thanks to anyone who can share their experience!

For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!

hi
It seems that in recent years, January and February in Bohol have seen an increase in rainy periods. Have any of you noticed this?
Thanks in advance for your replies
