Regional Conditions This Past Week

The Eastern Caribbean experienced typical transitional weather over the past seven days, with temperatures ranging from 22°C71°F in the northern reaches to 30°C87°F across the southern Windward Islands. Atmospheric pressure remained stable at an average of 1016 hPa30 inHg, with humidity hovering around 75% throughout the region. Cloud cover dominated the landscape, with overcast and broken cloud conditions supporting scattered rainfall across most islands.

The northern Leeward Islands experienced the most active wind conditions, with peak gusts reaching 58 km/h36 mph. Rainfall distribution was uneven, with Antigua and Barbuda receiving the most moisture at 49.57 mm1.95 in while southern islands like Barbados remained comparatively dry with just 4.57 mm0.18 in over the seven-day period.

This Week's Outlook

The region enters a week defined by the seasonal transition between winter and spring patterns, bringing characteristic moisture convergence at low levels. Expect widespread cloudiness with frequent showers across the northern and central islands, including Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Leeward Islands, and Windward Islands. Southern stations including Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago will see partly cloudy skies with a moderate chance of showers rather than the more persistent cloud cover affecting northern areas.

Winds will maintain an east-northeast to east direction, blowing at 22 to 39 km/h14 to 24 mph with occasional gusts reaching 52 km/h32 mph. Sea conditions will remain moderate, with wave heights between 1.5 to 2.7 metres5 to 9 feet. No active tropical systems pose a threat to the Atlantic basin at this time, allowing the weather pattern to be dominated by these seasonal moisture dynamics rather than organized storm systems.

Planning Ahead

Residents and visitors should prepare for typical transitional weather: brief afternoon showers are likely across most of the region, though rainfall will not be sustained or heavy. Outdoor activities in exposed areas may be affected by wind gusts, particularly across the northern islands. For detailed, island-by-island conditions and hourly updates, visit the weather page.
