ISLANDS ACROSS the Caribbean are still being threatened by torrential weather conditions after already being battered by days of debilitating downpours. 

Guadeloupe and Dominica have been lashed by rain ranging from moderate to heavy in the last 10 hours. 

Other tropical islands including Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Barbados have been spared some of the deadly downfalls, the Eastern Caribbean Weather reported. 

“There is an enhancement of showers over or near the islands due to mountain effects as well as intermittent lightning,” the weather group said. 

“The south/base of the upper trough is also enhancing showers of isolated thunderstorms over Trinidad and Guyana.”

Caribbean residents are on high alert following warnings that the “the risk for flash flooding and landslide events is elevated” until Tuesday.

The stark conditions have been triggered by slow moving thunderclouds. 

The threat of deadly weather across the idyllic regions comes a year after islands in the east of the Caribbean were hit by flash floods and landslides.

Saint Lucia was just one of the islands that fell victim to the weather that resulted in millions needing to be pumped into the region for its recovery.

Dominica recorde one fatality as a result of the conditions. 

The Caribbean, and other countries throughout the global south, are already at an increased risk of the unfolding climate disaster due to rising sea levels, torrential rain and coral bleaching. 

Saint Lucia’s National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) has called for donations to aid local residents severely hit by the floods which prompted Taiwan to pledge up to $100,000 to the island nation in their recovery efforts. 

Dominican Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, visited people living on the east coast and grieving families who have lost loved ones to the devastating weather in San Sauveur, Petite Soufriere and Castle Bruce. 

In a social media post, he said: “We will continue to give attention to the situation on the East to bring relief to the affected residents.”
