WEATHER SUMMARY
The lower atmosphere over the Eastern Caribbean region, remains sufficiently moist and unstable to produce a few cloudy periods with scattered showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms during the next 24 hours.
An area of Saharan dust haze will continue cause reduction in visibility and air quality around the Eastern Caribbean region during the next few days.
The alert level at the La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent has been downgraded to Orange as a result of reduced activity over the past few weeks. However, interests in Saint Lucia and the south-eastern Caribbean region are advised to continue monitoring official sources for updates.
