Earlier today forecasters at the Met Office of the Maurice Bishop International Airport issued a dust – hazy advisory for the State of Grenada.
It’s associated with the conditions due to a combination of Saharan dust and volcanic ash from the volcanic eruptions on the Spanish isle of La Palma (Canary Islands).
This, the Met Office indicated, has resulted in reduced visibility across Grenada.
It’s said that conditions are expected to continue over the coming days, varying in intensity.
The Ministry of Health, therefore, advises people with respiratory challenges such as asthma and other allergies to wear a mask, avoid outdoor contact if possible.
Such individuals must ensure they have an adequate supply of medication and to be in contact with their medical physician, in the event such intervention is needed.
NaDMA, however, is further encouraging motorists and marine operators to exercise increased caution due to reduced visibility.
