Only 17 Belco customers were without power this afternoon as the electricity company worked to restore services to homes affected by stormy weather over the weekend.

The utility company had brought back electricity to more than 1,500 customers since yesterday afternoon.

The Belco outage map showed 11 customers were without power in Sandys and six in Southampton at 4.30pm.

All ferry services resumed today and flights were operating as scheduled, according to Skyport’s website.

Blustery showers are expected to continue to stream across the island with occasional strong and gusty winds lingering until midweek, the Bermuda Weather Service said in its latest forecast.

The BWS said the conditions persist as a series of troughs and developing fronts pass near the region.

Possible gusts around a few blustery showers are expected this evening and occasionally strong and gusty winds may linger into Tuesday until high pressure nudges in by midweek.

Weaker winds and drier weather were forecast for Wednesday, though for a short time, the BWS said.

Windier conditions then return into Thursday with an increased chance of showers, it added.

On Facebook, Bermuda Container Line Limited posted a video of the MV Oleander battling against rough weather over the past few days.

The cargo ship departed Port Elizabeth, New Jersey, on Saturday for Bermuda and was expected to arrive in Port Hamilton tomorrow.

The ship’s crew received many words of appreciation from the public.

A company spokesman told The Royal Gazette: “We are thankful to the captain and the crew of the Oleander for the job they do week after week.”

A total of 2,298 customers were without power as of 10pm on Saturday, with the bulk in Hamilton Parish, where 1,428 had lost electricity. In Southampton, another 610 homes were in the dark at that time.

In Warwick, 206 lost power, while Paget and Devonshire had 30 and 13 outages respectively.

The BWS had issued a severe weather watch along with a thunderstorm advisory and a gale warning as a “complex, dual-centred low” deepened to the island’s west.
