**Interview with Master Amaury Machado Montes de Oca, Head of the Forecast Group at the Provincial Meteorological Center (CMP) of Villa Clara**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Master Amaury. There have been reports regarding a potential cyclonic formation that could threaten Cuba in the immediate future. Can you clarify the current situation?
**Amaury Montes de Oca:** Thank you for having me. To address the rumors directly, there are currently no official signs indicating the formation of a tropical cyclone that would impact Cuba in the coming days. Our analysis shows that although tropical waves are present, the strong upper-level winds in the Caribbean are preventing the development of any significant cyclonic activity.
**Editor:** That’s reassuring news. Can you explain a bit more about these upper currents and how they affect storm formation?
**Amaury Montes de Oca:** Certainly. Upper-level winds can either enhance or inhibit storm development. In this case, the current strong upper currents in the Caribbean create an environment that is unfavorable for cyclonic activity. These winds disrupt the vertical development that is necessary for a tropical cyclone to form, which is why we do not expect any threats in the next 24 to 48 hours.
**Editor:** With the changing weather patterns, how do you recommend that residents stay informed about potential updates?
**Amaury Montes de Oca:** I encourage everyone to stay tuned to official weather updates from the CMP and national meteorological services. It’s important to rely on verified information rather than speculation. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide timely updates as needed.
**Editor:** Thank you, Master Amaury, for your insights and clarification. It’s always vital to have accurate information during these weather events.
**Amaury Montes de Oca:** Thank you for the opportunity to share this information. Stay safe, everyone.
