Statement From The Meteorological Office—November 1
A broad Trough is expected to develop across Jamaica and the western Caribbean on Tuesday and will produce a large area of disorganised showers and thunderstorms across the region.
Consequently, unstable weather conditions are expected across island beginning Tuesday afternoon.
The forecast is for a gradual increase in cloudiness followed by intermittent showers and thunderstorms, which may be heavy at times, to affect most parishes through Saturday.
Sea conditions will also deteriorate in the vicinity of showers and thunderstorms. Fishers and other marine interests, especially inshore and offshore the south coast, should therefore exercise caution.

Oh bwoy more rains and still no water in pipes + a NWC request for 51% increase in water rates.
ReplyDeleteReportedly,backed by the Minister in charge should not be granted by the OUR.
That increase would be so much higher than the BOJ calculated inflation rate in the region of 7.5%.
If 51% is granted our water bill will be higher than than JPSCo light bill would be a disgracefully wicked in light of the hardships now faced by the Jamaican lower.and middle classes.
Dams should be desilted every 10-15 years.
Depending on rainfall it is assumed that during a period of 10-15 years siltation could be up to 30%.
Dams have in more silt/dirt than water.
The Mona Dam was built in 1944 to hold 808 million gallons of water.
Desilted once to date in 1976 depending on the level of rain/siltation.
1976 to 2026 =50 years so Mona Dam may not have more than 200 million gallons of available usable water even at full capacity.
Apparently the rains don’t like the dams.
