The Hydromet Service on Tuesday reported that there are very high concentrations of Saharan Dust moving over the Caribbean and Northern Guyana and the situation is projected to remain until Friday, December 27, 2024.

The significant concentrations of the dust cause reduced visibility, inhibit deep convection and cloud formation and may affect persons with respiratory illnesses. Persons are asked to take the necessary precautions.
