Residents have been urged to make preparations for “unsettled” weather conditions this weekend.

The Ministry of National Security issued the advisory based on forecast by the Bermuda Weather Service.

The conditions are expected to begin tomorrow and continue through the weekend.

According to the BWS, the island can expect gale-force winds, cooler temperatures and the possibility of thunder activity through Sunday evening.

It said windy and wet conditions with gales and storm-force gusts are expected to hit the island as rapidly deepening low pressure passes to the north.

Weather conditions remain subject to change while the weather system is being closely monitored.

Michael Weeks, the Minister of National Security, said: “We are asking everyone to pay close attention to the forecast.

“As we saw last weekend, severe weather can cause disruptions, so residents and businesses should make sensible plans, secure their property where necessary, and avoid unnecessary risks.

“In particular, I urge motorists to travel with care if they must be on the roads.”

The ministry encouraged the public to stay informed by monitoring updates from the BWS at weather.bm and through official government communications channels.

Last weekend, thousands of Belco customers were without power after gale-force winds pounded the island amid stormy weather.

Power was eventually restored across the island by Tuesday evening.
