What this means
GDACS rated this event Orange, which means it may have a significant humanitarian impact. Alert levels combine the physical size of the event with estimates of the population exposed and local vulnerability, so they reflect potential impact rather than confirmed damage.
GDACS reports this storm at Category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, corresponding to sustained winds of 119–153 km/h (74–95 mph). The category describes wind only; storm surge and rainfall flooding are often more dangerous.
Alerts are automated and can be revised as better data arrives. They are intended for humanitarian coordination, not as a public warning service. Follow your local authorities for official guidance.
