Barbados’ drought is expected to continue for a few more weeks and also the high temperatures.

An update provided by Barbados Meteorological Services states that they are expecting rains to slowly pick up from June along with very warm temperatures compared to last year.

The continued dry spell is predicted to have significant impacts to rain-fed crops particularly across the south of the island.

The Met Services warns that large field fires are highly possible up until June mainly across the dry southern sections of the island, such as St. Philip, Christ Church, St. Michael and Southern St. George.

It adds that foliage is expected to remain very poor across the south of the island.

Meantime, it says some nights will become a little uncomfortable due to the warm temperatures in the late evening.
