The heavy rainfall which has been affecting Dominica since morning, has caused flooding in various parts of the island.<\/p>\n

Several videos posted on social media show flooding in many communities, particularly along the west coast.<\/p>\n

The heavy rain is also affecting the visit by two cruise ships docked at the cruise ship berth in Roseau and at the Woodbridge Bay port.<\/p>\n

The Dominica Meteorological Office stated in its 6:00 AM advisory this morning that low-level moisture and instability were expected to generate cloudy periods with scattered showers, “which could be moderate at times, over the island during the next 12 to 24 hours.” It urged people in areas prone to flooding, landslides, and falling rocks to be on alert and to continue to exercise caution. Small-craft operators and sea-bathers were also cautioned to be on alert for strong breaking wave action along\u00a0 beaches.<\/p>\n

The following Flood Warning was later issued by the met office to remain in effect until 12 noon today.<\/p>\n
