WEATHER SUMMARY

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate light to moderate easterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean region over the next few days.

An area of Saharan dust haze will continue to cause a reduction in visibility over the region for the next couple of days.

The lower atmosphere over the Lesser Antilles will remain relatively dry and stable and as a result generally fair conditions are expected over most of the islands during the next 24 hours.
