Jamaica Braces for Tropical Wave: Showers and Thunderstorms Expected Today
Jamaicans need to prepare for a weather event that promises a wet and stormy day ahead. According to the Meteorological Service’s latest forecast, a tropical wave just west of Jamaica will bring showers, thunderstorms, and windy conditions starting today and lasting through Friday.
In their 5 am update on Thursday, June 27, 2024, the Meteorological Service reported that the tropical wave was moving away from the island. Despite this, residents should expect persistent cloudy skies with intermittent showers and thunderstorms throughout the morning. A gradual improvement in weather is anticipated later in the day. However, windy conditions will continue, influenced by a low-level jet stream across the island.
