On Wednesday this week, two representatives from the UK MET office ended a visit to Antigua and Barbuda.

Discussions were held with representatives of the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service (ABMS) on how both services can strengthen relations.

“The ABMS presently provides aviation forecast support to Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands and Montserrat, which are all UK Overseas Territories. Senior International Development Manager with the Met Office – UK, Tim Donovan, expressed his optimism for continued collaboration between both offices”, according to a press statement

The two UK representatives also met with officials from the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA) during their three-day visit.
