A significant Sahara Dust outbreak is likely to affect the island, the Barbados Meteorological Services  (BMS) said today in a dust haze advisory issued for the island.

The BMS has advised that residents and visitors should expect some slight reduction to visibility due to the dust haze and people with respiratory issues or allergies should ensure that they travel with, or have close at hand, all prescribed medications.

It has also advised that marine users should monitor the situation closely, along with the forecast for any further deterioration.

The advisory will be updated today at 6 p.m. or sooner if conditions warrant.
