Saharan dust haze will continue to cause reduced visibility and poor air quality
around the Eastern Caribbean region for the next few days.
The La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent remains active, thus additional
eruptions and ash plumes are possible at any time. Interests in Saint Lucia and
the region are advised to continue monitoring official news media outlets for
updates.
