The Meteorological Service is urging people in Jamaica to be mindful of flash flooding across sections of the island Monday, as it announced that a flash flood warning is now in effect for additional parishes.

A flash flood warning is now in effect for low-lying and flood-prone areas of Manchester, St Elizabeth, and Westmoreland.

These parishes have been added to St Mary, Portland, St Thomas, Kingston and St Andrew, and Clarendon, for which the flash flood warning issued Sunday has been extended.

The three additional parishes were previously under a flash flood watch, but that has now been upgraded to a flash flood warning.

The update came from the Met Service as Tropical Storm Ian, now upgraded to Hurricane Ian, is expected to move into the north-western Caribbean on Monday, but its outer bands have still been producing adverse weather conditions across Jamaica.

“Observational data indicate that the outer bands of Ian have been producing moderate to heavy showers since Sunday and light to moderate rainfall and thunderstorms over the last few hours, mainly across north-eastern and southern parishes,” the Met Service said in the release early Monday.

The Met Service said, too, that the forecast is for “periods of moderate to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms to continue across southern and north-eastern parishes Monday through to early Tuesday”.

“Periods of showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon, are expected for the remainder of the island during this time. Additionally, due to the extended period of rainfall and high ground saturation, landslides are likely,” the Met Service said.

The Met Service said the flash flood warning would remain in effect until 5am Tuesday.

The Ministry of Education and Youth has advised that students in the eastern parishes of St Thomas, Portland and St Mary, which make up Region 2, should remain at home on Monday, September 26.

The advice follows heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Ian that impacted sections of the island between Saturday and Sunday.

In a statement Sunday evening, the ministry said the report from Region 2 indicates that, based on the adverse weather conditions which disrupted electricity, worsened road conditions and caused flooding in some areas, students should remain at home and work remotely as previously advised in Bulletin-133/2022, entitled “Severe Weather Alert”.

The Met Service had also declared a flash flood warning for the parishes in Region 2 on Sunday.

The ministry said that while reports from Region 5 (St Elizabeth and Manchester) do not indicate significant cause for concern, school boards and principals are advised to make use of both remote learning and only use face-to-face where conditions allow.

Meanwhile, the ministry said that based on the situational update from the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management and the Meteorological Office, schools can open for face-to-face classes where conditions are safe.

“Based on reports from our seven regions as to the impact of the weather conditions in their locality, boards and principals are being advised to exercise caution in determining the operations of schools for Monday, September 26,” the statement said.

It urged school administrators to use their communication channels to communicate with all parents, students and staff to advise of the operations of schools based on their local situation.

“All staff and parents should exercise their best judgement, paying special attention to self-care and safety in all circumstances,” the ministry said.
