Cold front to bring cool temperatures, rains over the next few days – Met office

Jamaicans are being advised by the Meteorological Service of Jamaica to expect cooler temperatures, gusty winds, and increased rainfall over the next few days due to a strong cold front.

The Met Office says the cold front is forecast to enter the western Caribbean on Saturday, impacting weather conditions across Jamaica from Saturday night through early next week.

As a result, significantly cooler temperatures are expected. In addition, strong, gusty winds are forecast across the island, particularly in northern parishes and hilly areas. Generally cloudy conditions are also expected, with increased periods of showers affecting most parishes.

Fishers and other marine interests are advised to exercise caution, as sea conditions are expected to deteriorate due to very strong winds—near gale force—from Saturday night through early next week.

The Met Office says it will continue to monitor the system and provide updates as necessary.
