Barbados Meteorological Services Issues Flash-Flood Warning for Western Districts
September 5, 2024
Barbados Meteorological Services upgrades flash flood watch to warning for western districts due to intense shower activity, resulting in flooding in St Michael and St Thomas. Warning in effect until 6 p.m.
The flash flood watch issued by the Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) earlier today has been upgraded to a flash-flood warning for western districts.
The BMS says intense shower activity will continue throughout the afternoon across various districts in the central and northern parishes of the island.
It noted that heavy showers have already resulted in flooding across portions of St Michael and St Thomas.
The forecasters say the activity is a result of light winds due to a trough system that is passing north of island and strong daytime heating
The flash flood warning will be terminated at 6 p.m., or sooner if conditions warrant.
