Saharan dust haze to affect Barbados from Sunday

A plume of Saharan dust haze is forecast to affect Barbados and the marine area from Sunday.

A dust-haze advisory is issued when dust haze has already or is forecast to reduce visibility between 5 to 10km within 48 hours across the island and within the marine area.

Hazard Info:

Although the dust haze plume to the east of Barbados is still expected to affect the island from Sunday, model guidance now suggests that the dust event will be less significant as initially forecast.

As a result, the advisory has been shifted to Sunday only before waning off the following day. If this decreasing trend continues over the next 12-18 hours, then the advisory for Sunday will be terminated early on Sunday.

Key Messages:

  • Residents, visitors, and marine users should be prepared to take action, as a significant reduction in visibility is either likely or already occurring.
  • Persons with respiratory issues or allergies should ensure that they travel with, or have close at hand, all prescribed medications.
  • Marine users should monitor the situation closely, along with the forecast for any further deterioration.
