The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) has issued a flash-flood watch for the island.

This watch is in response to an approaching trough system, which is expected to bring moderate to heavy showers, periods of rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds throughout the day.

A flash-flood watch does not guarantee flooding but indicates that conditions are favourable for it to occur.

The watch will be updated or terminated at 12:00 p.m. today, or earlier if conditions improve. (BMS)
