Barbadians are being warned that dangerous heat conditions will persist for the next few days and they should take precautions.
In its latest weather information system, the Barbados Meteorological Services says temperatures at or above 32 degrees Celsius were recorded across a significant portion of the island yesterday and overnight lows did not offer much relief.
This as the BMS continues to monitor the progress of Hurricane Lee, which was located around 20.3N 58.2W and well north of Barbados at 11:00 today.
Model guidance continues to track the hurricane well north of the Eastern Caribbean and no direct impacts from Lee are expected across Barbados.
However, marine operators may experience some choppy conditions and northerly swells over the next few days.
The Barbados Meteorological Services says this will be the final message on this system.
