June Brings Double Trouble with Tropical Storms Bret and Cindy.

Tropical Storm Bret weakened in the Caribbean after bringing heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the eastern Caribbean. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Cindy formed east of the Lesser Antilles, becoming the second rare June deep tropics storm. The combination of Bret and Cindy made history as the first time two tropical storms formed east of the Lesser Antilles in June. Ocean warmth contributed to the development of both storms, with water temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and the Lesser Antilles smashing mid-June records.
