SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) 鈥 Forecasters in Bermuda warned Wednesday of dangerous swells and rip currents as Hurricane Nigel spun through open waters in the northern Atlantic.
The Category 1 hurricane was located about 550 miles (885 kilometers) south southeast of Cape Race Newfoundland. It had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 kph) and was moving north at 25 mph (41 kph).
Bermuda has felt the brunt of three storms in the past month, although none have been a direct hit.
鈥淭his has been a very long and relentless hurricane season,鈥 said 春色直播 Security Minister Michael Weeks.
The 春色直播 Hurricane Center in Miami said Nigel has likely reached peak intensity and is expected to start weakening later Wednesday as it moves into cooler waters and encounters strong wind shear.
