WEATHER (6:00 PM, May 19): Dust haze to increase during next 24 hrs; people with respiratory problems asked to take precautions

The high pressure system will remain the dominant feature resulting in a relatively dry atmosphere across the island during the next 24 to 48 hours. Occasionally breezy conditions will be maintained.

An increase in dust haze concentration is expected to be maintained over the island during the next 24 to 48 hours resulting in a reduction in visibility. People with respiratory sensitivities should take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.

Slight to moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 to 48 hours, with waves peaking to 7.0ft in eastern coastal waters. Small-craft operators and sea bathers on the eastern coast are advised to exercise caution.
