FELIX finally hit Nicaragua causing deaths and destruction
Intense hurricane season in the Carribean Sea/Mexican Gulf coincides with the severe dry season in the Guiana Shield. As predicted by NOAA experts in early August, sea surface temperatures in key areas of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea are warmer than normal, and led to two category 5 hurricanes within two weeks. (Mongabay.com) The 2007 dry season in the Guiana Shield might be drier-than-normal and water level should be again very low by late November 2007, following lower rainfall than normal since February this year, as in 2005.
