A strong tropical wave sweeping the Eastern Caribbean has caused heavy rainfall in Dominica, prompting flood warnings and school closures.
The Dominica Meteorological Service has issued warnings for the island’s eastern districts, with a flood watch in the south. Several communities have reported flooding, with swollen rivers and waterlogged roads making travel hazardous.
The Ministry of Education ordered schools closed as a precaution, while emergency officials urged residents in low-lying areas to stay alert.
The unstable weather is expected to continue, raising the risk of flash floods and landslides.
