Varying concentrations of Saharan Dust will be across the region during the next three days. A gradual thinning of the intrusion is anticipated tomorrow into Wednesday across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, increasing in thickness by Wednesday night. Small craft operators and persons with respiratory concerns should continue to exercise caution for low visibility and poor air quality.
Mostly fair, slightly hazy and breezy conditions are forecast for Tuesday, followed by occasional scattered showers on Wednesday. By Thursday afternoon, a tropical wave will begin to affect the islands, resulting in moderate showers, becoming heavy with isolated thunderstorms by nightfall.
Winds will be predominantly from the east north east (ENE) at approximately 20km/h – 40km/h. A decrease in wind speeds will be noticeable from Tuesday, being generally moderate (15km/h-30km/h). However, by Thursday, strong breeze is anticipated again.
Moderate sea conditions with swells peaking to 1.5m on the western coasts and 2.5m on the eastern coasts are forecast during the next 24 hours. Small craft operators and sea bathers should continue to exercise caution. An improvement is likely around Wednesday on the eastern coasts (2.0m). However, this is likely to be short-lived as deterioration is forecast during Thursday again.
