72 Hours Outlook

Sunny conditions could be interrupted by a few showers during Monday mid-afternoon and occasional isolated showers are anticipated as Tuesday progresses. On Wednesday, a southward moving shear line will generate cloudy skies over the islands by evening. Pockets of moderate showers are expected into early Thursday.

Moderate to fresh (20 - 35km/h) easterly to east north easterly trades are crossing the islands. Speeds will increase (~40km) on occasions during this forecast period and a temporary shift to east south easterly is anticipated on Wednesday. Seas are forecast to be moderate in open waters (but may become moderate to rough on occasions) with swells ranging between 1.5m - 1.8m on the western coasts and between 2.0m – 2.7m on the eastern coasts. Small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution for above normal sea swells and occasional gusty winds. No significant haze intrusion is forecast.
