Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 AM on Monday 10 August 2026
Generally cloudy skies with a few showers can be expected during the early morning. However, a gradual drying out of the atmosphere can be expected as the day progresses. Meanwhile, moisture ahead of an approaching tropical wave is expected to affect the area by late afternoon into tonight, bringing an increase in cloudiness with scattered showers. This will be followed by the approach of this tropical wave. People in areas at risk of flooding, landslides and falling rocks should remain alert and monitor conditions. Breezy conditions are also likely.
A significant increase in Saharan dust is expected today, lingering throughout the week with fluctuations in between. People with asthma, allergies and other dust-sensitivity issues should take all necessary precautions during the week. Mariners should carry navigational devices due to low visibility.
Slight to moderate seas are forecast during the period, with waves reaching up to 3 feet along the west coast and up to 7 feet along the east coast. Mariners should continue to exercise caution.
Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Centre is monitoring two tropical waves with the potential to develop over the next seven days. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of these waves. Mariners in Dominica should keep updated during the week for possible deterioration in sea conditions by Friday. The Dominica Meteorological Service will continue to monitor conditions and keep the public informed.
