A strong tropical wave sweeping across the Eastern Caribbean has triggered heavy rainfall in Dominica, prompting the authorities to issue urgent flood advisories and close schools across affected areas.
The Dominica Meteorological Service has placed the island’s eastern districts under a flood warning, while a flood watch remains in effect for the southern region. Several communities have already reported flooding, with swollen rivers and waterlogged roads making travel difficult and unsafe.

As a precaution, the Ministry of Education has ordered schools closed today, citing the risk to students and staff. Emergency officials are closely monitoring rainfall levels and urging residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas to remain vigilant.
The tropical wave is expected to continue bringing unstable weather conditions over the next several hours, with the potential for flash flooding and landslides.
