WEATHER INFORMATION STATEMENT #5 FOR BARBADOS ON HURRICANE SAM
Effective
14:09:45 2021-09-24
Expires
14:30:00 2021-09-25
Description
The Barbados Meteorological Services continues to monitor the progress of Hurricane Sam located near 11.8N 43.7W, this places the center of Hurricane Sam about 1700Km (1055 miles) east of Barbados at 11 AM Friday 24th September 2021.
Hurricane Sam is expected to remain on a westward track over the next 12 to 24 hours followed by a slower west-northwestward track over the weekend. As a result, this system is not likely to pose any direct threat to the island.
***************SPECIAL NOTE***************
As Sam passes to the north of Barbados early next week, we can expect a reduction in wind speeds, this will lead to warmer than usual air temperatures. For further information and tips on what you can do during these warm episodes, please follow our social media pages and other recommendations issued by official sources.
**********************************************
The BMS will continue to monitor the progress of this feature over the next few days.
Recommendations to the public:
Continue to monitor all updates and alerts issued by the BMS.
The next update will be at 2 PM Saturday 25th September 2021.
