Public Advisory: Rain and Thunderstorm Activity May Cause Localised Flooding

The Ministry of National Security advises the public to stay alert as unsettled weather conditions are forecast to begin tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday), according to the Bermuda Weather Service (BWS).

Periods of heavy rainfall and isolated thunderstorms are expected, with conditions possibly continuing into early Thursday morning. The chance of thunderstorms is particularly significant and may lead to brief but intense downpours.

The BWS advises that the latest model data suggests 0.5 to 1 inches of rainfall accumulation during this period. However, there could be up to an inch more in localised heavy showers or thunderstorms.

While impacts are not expected to exceed those typical of heavy rain events, localised flooding is likely in known flood-prone areas.

This could affect residential and commercial properties and cause temporary travel disruptions, especially during the Thursday morning commute.

The public is also reminded that heavy rainfall can worsen potholes or create new ones on roadways. Motorists and pedestrians should exercise caution during and after the weather event, as deteriorating road conditions can pose a hazard.

Residents and business owners are encouraged to take appropriate precautions to protect their property and to monitor official updates.
