ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- The Virgin Islands (VI) is currently experiencing unstable weather conditions caused by an upper-level trough.

The Department of Disaster Management (DDM) in an advisory released at 3:25 PM today, September 10, 2024, also said flooding may be a possibility and, in the event flooding occurs, avoid roadways until the water subsides.

Meanwhile, a cluster of severe thunderstorms is in the vicinity of the Territory and likely to affect marine conditions, especially in the vicinity of Virgin Gorda.

Waterspouts caused by the thunderstorms could overturn boats and make local seas hazardous. Mariners should therefore exercise caution during this period.

The BVI DDM is advising all to pay attention to updates.

    Thanks for the update. It sounds like we’re in for some rough weather. I’ll make sure to stay off the roads if there’s flooding and keep an eye on marine conditions if I’m out on the water. I’ll definitely be checking for more updates and staying safe. Hope everyone stays dry and secure during this weather!

    School is not a jail. If you see a lot of rain falling go to the school and request to take your child home. Nobody is going to stop you. If you check the weather forecast and you figure it us going to rain cats and fogs just don't send your child out. It is simple. When I was small any big shower we staying home.

    Thank you for providing the update. Apparently, we're going to have some severe weather. If it floods, I'll be careful to avoid the roads, and if I'm out on the water, I'll pay attention to the maritime conditions. I'll be keeping an eye out for any new developments and taking precautions. I hope everyone is safe and dry in this weather!
