WEATHER: Hot weather expected into Friday, Saharan dust over next few days

A high pressure system is expected to remain dominant across the island chain during the next 24 hours. A relatively dry atmosphere is expected to persist across the area during the period. The public is advised to take the necessary precautions to minimize heat related stress as consecutive days with temperatures of at least 33°C/ 91°F have been recorded for the week and are expected to persist into Friday.

Saharan dust haze is projected to linger across the area over the next few days in varying concentrations. People with respiratory sensitivities should take all the necessary precautions to avoid complications.

Moderate seas are anticipated during the next 24 hours with waves peaking near 7.0ft during tonight. A slight increase to peak near 8.0ft is anticipated on Friday. Wind speed is also projected to increase from Saturday. Small craft operators and sea bathers on the east coast should exercise caution.
