Regional Conditions This Past Week

The Eastern Caribbean has experienced warm, settled weather over the past seven days as the region transitions into early May. Temperatures have ranged from 21°C70°F in the northern islands to 32°C90°F in the south, typical for this time of year. A stable airmass has kept atmospheric pressure steady at around 1015 mb, with 82% average humidity creating warm, somewhat moist conditions that residents have come to expect during the transition from dry season toward the wet season.

Wind activity has been light to moderate, with the strongest gusts recorded in the southern Grenadines at 38 km/h24 mph. Most of the region experienced gentler conditions, allowing for calm seas. Rainfall has been scattered and minimal across much of the eastern Caribbean, though northern windward islands saw slightly more moisture.

Dominica recorded the week's highest total at 21.1 mm0.83 in, while several southern locations remained dry. Overall, conditions have favored outdoor activities and normal operations across the region.

This Week's Outlook

The coming week will maintain the settled pattern currently in place. Light to moderate easterly winds between 11 and 28 km/h7 and 17 mph will continue as the primary driver of weather across the eastern Caribbean. Sea conditions will remain calm to moderate, with wave heights of 1 to 1.5 metres3 to 5 feet expected throughout the period.

Despite the generally stable airmass, shallow low-level cloud patches embedded in the light to moderate wind flow could trigger brief, passing showers at random intervals, particularly during afternoon hours. The chance of any given location experiencing a shower remains moderate but intermittent; most days will feature more clear skies than wet weather. Residents and visitors should keep an eye on afternoon cloud development but can expect predominantly dry, sunny conditions to dominate the week ahead.

No tropical systems threaten the Atlantic basin, and no significant weather disruptions are anticipated for the Eastern Caribbean region.
