WEATHER (12:00 PM, July 3): Strong tropical wave to affect area during next 24 hrs

A strong tropical wave is expected to affect the area during the next 24 hours. This is expected to generate cloudy to overcast conditions with showers which could be moderate to heavy at times with thunderstorms and gusty winds. An increase in shower activity is expected this afternoon. A flood watch is in effect from 12noon today to 6am on Thursday. As a result, people in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks are advised to exercise extreme caution.

Moderate to rough seas can be expected in open water with waves peaking near 10ft during the period. People living near the coast are advised to exercise caution due to onshore breaking wave action. Small craft operators are advised to remain in port. Sea bathers are advised to stay out of the water.

Varying concentration of dust haze is expected over the next few days. People with respiratory sensitivities are advised to take the necessary precautions to avoid complications.

Dominica remains under a Flash Flood Watch.

    Yaps you are right because with help from Skerrit who has destroyed us from inside out and made us very vulnerable and fearful during any type of storm , the people of Dominica will always be affected. Never have I seen Dominicans so afraid and cornered like that before. People are afraid of the next 24 hrs even when we are not in hurricane season because Skerrit has so badly destroyed our country
