We’re starting the day with cloudy and hazy conditions across the islands as a high-pressure system continues to dominate the weather pattern. Expect a breezy day ahead, with a mix of sunshine and clouds and the possibility of a few isolated showers during the morning hours.
Temperatures this morning are sitting around 27.5°C, with humidity at 81%, making it feel warm and slightly sticky outdoors. Winds are blowing from the northeast at around 22 km/h, with stronger gusts expected at times.
The main talking point today continues to be the Saharan dust haze affecting the region. Visibility may be reduced in some areas, and persons with respiratory conditions or allergies are encouraged to take the necessary precautions.
Sea conditions are expected to remain slight to moderate in open waters, with swells ranging from 1.2 to 2.0 metres. Small-craft operators and sea bathers should continue to exercise caution due to above-normal swells and the reduced visibility caused by the dust haze.
Today’s forecast calls for partly cloudy to occasionally cloudy skies, breezy conditions, and just a slight chance of isolated showers.
Looking at today’s temperatures around the region:
- Barbados is 27°C and breezy
- Antigua is 26°C with partly cloudy skies
- Trinidad is fair and hazy at 26°C
- Miami is warm and breezy at 27°C
- London is enjoying clear skies at a hot 30°C
Sunrise was at 5:37 am and sunset will be at 6:26 pm.
That’s your friendly weather update for this morning. Have a safe and productive Tuesday, and remember to stay hydrated and take it easy in the dusty conditions.
