 St. Lucia is to continue to experience heavy rainfall as moisture and instability associated with a mid- to upper-level trough system, together with a tropical wave, will maintain cloudy conditions. Scattered showers and possible isolated thunderstorms will affect the island and the rest of the eastern Caribbean during the next 24 hours. A second tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic is also approaching. Director of Meteorological Services, Andrzej Weye, says the coming rains present a precarious situation, given the flooding experience over the weekend in Denry, Miko and Labri. The climate projections for the region would have been one where we would expect above normal rainfall. So October, November, December would have been wetter than normal. We are also expecting the hurricane season to be above average. The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is nearing an official close come 30th November, with 30 named storms having been formed. However, Weye cautions against the public letting the guard down. It's crossed into the Caribbean Sea and has formed Ayota. So most of the systems which pass us as tropical waves eventually become tropical storms or hurricanes. Just to name a few, Zeta, Eta and Ayota. So we still have more tropical waves on its way and those tropical waves are sometimes enhanced by upper level troughs. So we ask in persons in lowline and flood prone areas to be cautious, take the necessary precautions to guard against loss of property and loss of life.
