Met Office tracking area of disturbed weather

The Barbados Meteorological Services continues to closely monitor an area of disturbed weather embedded within the monsoon trough about 2230km or 1400 miles east of Barbados.

The system has been tracking west north-westward to northwestward around 10- 15km/h ( 5-10mph ) over the past 24 hours.

This system remains disorganized and is still not expected to change much in terms of its structure as it tracks west-northwestward around 10-15mph over the next few days.

Over the past 24 hours extended forecast tracks have been persistent in a projected track well north of Barbados by late next week.

However, the BMS is strongly recommending that the public listens for daily updates over the next few days.

Reminder: We are entering the peak of the hurricane season and the public is asked to ensure that their hurricane preparedness checklists have been completed and to be ready.

The next update will be issued by this department at 6 pm on 28th August 2022
