Not trying to be funny but I don't think we will be having another series of Death in Paradise on the BEEB this Winter ( it's filmed on St Martin)
According to Wikipedia it is filmed on Guadeloupe

Just round the corner. Hurricane season has a few weeks to go.


Two more on the way, Maria has overtaken Lee in terms of potential damage, and where it is in relation to the Leewards, Guadeloupe is in the cross hairs this time.

DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ophelia was
located near latitude 31.1 North, longitude 33.9 West. Ophelia is
moving toward the east-northeast near 8 mph (13 km/h), and this
motion with an increase in forward speed is expected through
Saturday. A turn toward the northeast with an additional increase
in forward speed is expected Saturday night. On the forecast
track, the center of Ophelia will pass near or to the southeast of
the southeastern Azores Saturday and Saturday night.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher
gusts. Only slight weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles
(150 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.65 inches).
