Based on data collected across 18 Eastern Caribbean islands over the past 7 days.

Regional Conditions

The Eastern Caribbean is in the midst of its transition season, characterized by warm temperatures and increasing moisture variability. Over the past seven days, conditions have remained typical for mid-April, with highs reaching 32°C90°F across the region and lows settling around 22°C71°F. Scattered rain has fallen unevenly, with some islands receiving modest amounts while others stayed comparatively dry.

Average atmospheric pressure has hovered near 1014 mb, and humidity levels at 85 percent reflect the transitional nature of the season. Broken clouds and periodic showers have dominated the weather pattern, though no tropical systems threaten the Atlantic basin at this time.

This Week's Outlook

A weak trough moving through the region will influence weather patterns over the coming days. The Leeward and British Virgin Islands face the highest rainfall risk, with scattered to moderate showers expected periodically during the next 24 hours. Some of these showers could develop into moderate or locally heavy bursts, particularly during peak daytime heating hours.

Residents and visitors in these areas should remain prepared for wet conditions but not expect sustained rainfall.

Across the remainder of the Eastern Caribbean, skies will range from fair to partly cloudy. Brief passing showers remain possible as shallow low-level moisture patches continue to drift across the islands, though the overall rain threat is lower than in the northern Leeward Islands. Winds will remain light to moderate, blowing from the east to east-southeast at 11 to 31 km/h7 to 20 mph.

Marine conditions will be generally calm, with seas ranging from 0.9 to 2.4 metres3 to 8 feet, making this a favorable period for water-based activities across most of the region.

Looking Ahead

The weak trough responsible for this week's scattered showers should gradually move away, returning conditions to more typical April weather patterns. No significant pressure systems or tropical threats are developing in the Atlantic, leaving the Eastern Caribbean in a relatively quiet weather window. This transition period is characteristic of late dry season shifting toward early wet season conditions.
