A FLASH-FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ST. VINCENT & THE GRENADINES
Issued: 6:00 pm Monday, 12th May, 2025
As a trough system crosses the islands under favourable upper level conditions, scattered light to moderate showers, periods of light rain and isolated thunderstorms are anticipated across St Vincent and the Grenadines. Rainfall accumulations of 50-75mm (approximately 2-3 inches) with isolated higher amounts in mountainous areas are possible during the next 12 hours.
Various stations across the mainland have already recorded in excess of an inch of rainfall and it is anticipated that this could increase during the passage of the night, therefore, the weather advisory which is already in effect for St. Vincent & the Grenadines has been upgraded to a flash-flood watch and will remain in effect until 6:00 am Tuesday 13th, May 2025.
Residents and motorists in areas prone to flooding and landslides or near rivers and streams should be prepared.
A Flood-Watch is issued when conditions are favourable and there exists the possibility of flooding during the watch period.
This flash-flood watch may be upgraded to a warning if conditions warrant.
