Rains, Thunderstorms May Continue As Affected Caribbean Islands Recover From Flash Floods

Some islands in the Caribbean affected by the heavy downpour last week may have to brace themselves for more rainy days ahead.

In a recent update by the Eastern Caribbean Weather, moderate to heavy showers have impacted Guadeloupe and Dominica in the last 10 hours. Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Barbados have been experiencing rains to a lesser degree.

“There is an enhancement of showers over or near the islands due to mountain effects as well as intermittent lightning,” the Facebook page reported. “The south/base of the upper trough is also enhancing showers isolated thunderstorms over Trinidad and Guyana.”

Eastern Caribbean Weather has also warned that “the risk for flash flooding and landslide events is elevated” until Tuesday because of thunderclouds that appear to move slowly.
