WEATHER SUMMARY
The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to generate moderate to brisk east-northeasterly winds and locally rough seas around the Eastern Caribbean region, over the next couple of days.
The lower levels of the atmosphere over our region will remain sufficiently moist and unstable to cause some cloudy periods with showers around the islands during the next 24 hours.
Saharan dust haze will continue to cause a reduction in visibility and air quality around our region, during the next few days.
