Erin Brings Minimal Rainfall to Antigua, Higher Totals Possible in Barbuda

16 August 2025 - 17:51

While Hurricane Erin continues to unleash dangerous conditions across the northern Caribbean, Antigua is expected to see less than an inch of additional rainfall from the storm, according to meteorologists.

Barbuda, however, could still receive 1 to 2 inches of rain, raising the risk of localized flooding in low-lying areas. The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) has urged residents to remain cautious, as outer rainbands from Erin may still bring gusty winds and squalls despite the hurricane’s center tracking north of the islands.

The Category 5 hurricane is forecast to continue moving west-northwest, gradually turning northward in the coming days.
