The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) has just issued an emergency warning about Tropical Storm Debby offshore, which is approaching the coast of Florida, USA.
According to the latest forecast, Debby is likely to strengthen into a hurricane before making landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida in the coming days. This tropical storm has the potential to become a hurricane.
Currently, the outer rain bands of the storm have begun to affect the Florida Keys and Southwest Florida. The NHC warns residents and visitors in the area to closely monitor the storm's developments and be prepared to respond.
According to forecast models, the probability of winds exceeding 63 km/h in the next 5 days is quite high in many coastal areas of Florida.
Residents and visitors should pay special attention to the periods from 0-36 hours, 0-48 hours, and 0-72 hours ahead when the risk of strong winds increases.
Given the situation, tourists planning to visit locations in Florida (USA) and nearby areas should closely follow storm updates from official information agencies and local authorities.

Check and update flight information if you plan to travel by air.
Finally, if necessary, tourists can register their information with the Consulate or Embassy at their destination to receive support when needed.
