TROPICAL depression Grace dissipated yesterday morning, proving a short-lived tropical cyclone in the eastern Atlantic that, like others before it, succumbed to unfavourable dry air and wind shear conditions. Grace was downgraded to a tropical depression on Tuesday and at 11am yesterday, meteorologists at the US National Hurricane Centre declared it disbanded 825 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. The seventh named storm of the season, Grace travelled 1,600 miles from its initial point as a tropical depression on Saturday.

Tropical Depression 8 formed yesterday and forecast to become Tropical Storm Henri in the next couple of days. The depression was centred about 220 miles east-south-east of Bermuda and moving east-south-east at 3mph. It was forecast to track north last night and accelerate north and northeast later this week. It should stay away from land.
