Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 AM on Wednesday, July 27, 2022
A high-pressure system will continue to be the dominant feature today. Low-level clouds within the wind flow are expected to result in occasional cloudiness and a few brief showers across the area during the day.
An increase in moisture levels can be expected across the island by tonight. Meanwhile, a tropical wave currently in the Atlantic Ocean will be approaching the area by Friday. Moisture trailing this wave is expected to result in an increase in cloudiness with scattered showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms from Saturday into Sunday.
Dust haze in varying concentrations will be evident during the course of the week. People with respiratory sensitivities should take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.
Slight to moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 hours, with waves peaking at 7.0ft in eastern coastal waters.
Please note that a greater degree of cloudiness, more frequent rainfall, and higher rainfall amounts are normally experienced across the east coast and interior of Dominica.
