WEATHER (6:00 PM June 4): Tropical wave affecting the area

A tropical wave will continue to affect most of the Lesser Antilles overnight. This is expected to support cloudy skies, scattered showers and thunderstorm activity, particularly over the islands to the south of the chain. Occasionally gusty winds will be maintained. People in areas prone to floods, landslides and falling rocks should be on the alert for isolated, moderate to heavy rainfall during the period.

Saharan dust is forecast to increase overnight. People with respiratory sensitivities should take necessary precautions to avoid complications.

Seas are expected to be slight to moderate during the next 24 hours, with waves peaking to 3ft along the western coastline and increasing to peak near 7ft tonight, along the eastern coast.
