BULLETIN
FLASH FLOOD ADVISORY
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES
8:56 AM ECT THU, OCT 16, 2025

A flash flood advisory is in effect for minor flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas of Antigua and Barbuda, valid until 12 midday today.

A flood advisory means that streams, creeks and drains may be elevated or even overflowing into streets and low-lying and flood-prone areas; however, property damage will be minimal.

Inconveniences can be expected but the flooding is not expected to be immediately life threatening. However, just one foot of flowing water is enough to sweep vehicles off the road.

When encountering flooded roads, be extremely cautious, and if in doubt, make the smart choice, turn around don’t drown. Move to higher ground.

A persistent trough over the northeast Caribbean is influencing the weather over area, causing periodic heavy showers and thunderstorms.

Already, radar estimates have shown over an inch has fallen in some places in the last 6 hours and another inch or more are likely in the next 8 hours. Hence, minor flooding of low-lying and flood-prone areas is expected.

Antigua and Barbuda meteorological services will continue to monitor the situation. Please call 463-4638 for later statements. Also, stay tuned to local radio and tv stations for the latest information.
