WEATHER SUMMARY

Low level wind speeds are expected to increase in our region over the next few

days as the Atlantic High Pressure System continues to build.

Saharan dust haze together with the possibility of volcanic ash from the erupting

La Soufriere volcano in St. Vincent, will continue to cause reduced visibility and air quality around our region for the next few days.
