The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services has issued a 72-hour weather outlook, warning residents of unstable conditions, potential flash flooding, and lingering Saharan dust as tropical waves move across the islands this week.
According to forecasters, moisture levels are expected to increase starting Monday, June 8th, leading to cloudy skies and scattered showers. Both Monday and Tuesday are forecast to see isolated thunderstorms and breezy conditions, accompanied by a slight to moderate haze from Saharan dust.
By Wednesday, while skies may transition to partly cloudy at times, the threat of thunderstorms remains, and wind speeds are expected to increase.
Authorities have issued a specific advisory for those in vulnerable areas. Residents and motorists in regions prone to flash flooding and landslides, as well as those living near rivers and streams, are urged to remain alert throughout the next three days. The combination of unstable conditions and tropical wave activity significantly increases the risk of sudden flooding.
