    <headline>WEATHER INFORMATION STATEMENT #7 FOR BARBADOS ON HURRICANE SAM</headline>
    <description>The Barbados Meteorological Services continues to monitor the progress of Hurricane Sam located near 14.2N 50.5W or approximately 1002Km (622 miles) east of Barbados at 5 PM Sunday 26th September 2021.

Sam is currently moving towards the northwest and this motion is expected to continue over the next few days.  Based on this trajectory, this system will not pose any direct threat to the island.

********************SPECIAL NOTE*********************

As Sam passes to the north of Barbados on Tuesday into Wednesday, we can expect a further 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 system 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 5 PM Monday 27th September 2021.
