WEATHER (6:00 a.m., June 5): First named storm for 2022 poses no direct threat to Dominica – Met Office

A relatively dry atmosphere can be expected across the area during the earlier part of today. However, a weak trough together with the approach of a tropical wave can be expected to result in an increase in cloudiness and the chance of showers across the area by later today into Monday. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Alex, the first storm of the Atlantic Hurricane season developed at 2 am this morning and is approaching Bermuda. This system poses no direct threat to Dominica.

Moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 to 36 hours, with waves peaking to 7.0ft in eastern coastal waters. Small craft operators and sea bathers on the northern and eastern coast should exercise caution.

    God will deal with Dominica in his own way over the next 4 month. All you have nowhere to go. All you were warned…
    But your greediness made you to support evil for too long!

    Pay attention to the prophet! All you believe all what de politicians are saying; but are not concerned about the truth. Deceived children of darkness. Haters of Jesus Christ. But He is still Merciful.

    Yeah….. Remember last week, or so, we had Liars telling us that this hurricane season is going to be “worst than normal” Bla Bla Bla….. and this modern day Prophet said that’s a [loiy] Lie. The prophet is correct when he said that this hurricane season is going to be the calmest hurricane season. So look now, already hurricane is not heading for our country. As a boy, I used to be outside bathing in the rain during hurricane season in Dominica. And I’m going to experience it again during this hurricane season. So don’t be afraid, don’t panic. Go out and bathe in the rain. Give God thanks for His Mercy.

    So the storm that killed those people in Mexico a couple days ago…I thought that was the first one..even heard them call it hurricane Agatha..

      My bad..turns out Agatha was the first in the Pacific hurricane season which starts in May..didn’t even know about that..only ever knew “June too soon..” as in the Atlantic hurricane season

      But Agatha was a Pacific Storm, but once the storm crossed Mexico and came to the Atlantic, it became the first Atlantic storm thus the name Alex.

      I thought so myself; reportedly killed 11 and dozens were said to be missing at the time of the report.
