Dominica MeT service claims a tropical wave is affecting island

The Meteorological service of Dominica in its weather report claims that a tropical wave is expected to generate cloudiness with showers, which could be moderate to heavy at times and isolated thunderstorms across the island chain, including Dominica, during the next 24 hours.

An advisory has been issued to the people in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks to use precautions particularly during the late afternoon to overnight period.

Moderate seas are expected during the next 24 hours with waves peaking up to 8.0 feet. Small craft operators and sea bathers, particularly on the east coast, are advised to exercise caution.
