St Kitts and Nevis Meteorological Forecast

This weather forecast, valid until 8 PM on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, predicts generally fair to partly cloudy conditions for the forecast area. While the overall atmospheric environment is expected to remain relatively stable, the presence of low-level clouds and pockets of moisture transported by a moderate to occasionally fresh wind flow will create a slight to moderate chance of showers. The forecast also highlights the presence of Saharan dust, which will contribute to reduced air quality throughout the forecast period.

For the night of May 27, 2025, the forecast anticipates mostly fair and hazy conditions with a 20% chance of passing showers. This suggests that while the night sky will be predominantly clear, the haze from the Saharan dust will be noticeable, and there’s a small possibility of brief, light showers occurring in some areas. The low temperature is expected to be around 24°C (75°F), providing a relatively comfortable overnight temperature despite the haze.

Looking ahead to Wednesday, May 28, 2025, the forecast calls for partly sunny and hazy conditions with a 40% chance of passing showers. This indicates a slightly higher likelihood of showers compared to the previous night, with periods of sunshine interspersed with cloud cover. The hazy conditions will persist due to the continued presence of Saharan dust. The high temperature is expected to reach 31°C (88°F), typical for the time of year but potentially exacerbated by the haze and humidity.

The wind forecast predicts an easterly flow at speeds ranging from 17 to 30 km/h (10 to 18 mph). This moderate wind will contribute to the transport of moisture and clouds across the area, influencing the shower activity and potentially offering some relief from the heat. The wind direction also suggests that the Saharan dust will continue to affect the region, as easterly winds often carry dust plumes from Africa across the Atlantic.

The marine forecast predicts sea conditions with wave heights between 1.2 and 1.8 meters (4 to 6 feet). These relatively calm seas are favorable for marine activities, although boaters should still exercise caution and be aware of changing weather conditions, particularly the possibility of passing showers.

Finally, the forecast provides the sunrise and sunset times for Wednesday, May 28, 2025, with sunrise at 5:36 AM and sunset at 6:40 PM. This information is useful for planning outdoor activities and provides a sense of the daylight hours available. The relatively long daylight hours are typical for this time of year.

In summary, this forecast predicts generally fair to partly cloudy conditions with a slight to moderate chance of showers for the forecast period. The presence of Saharan dust will result in hazy conditions and reduced air quality. Temperatures will range from a comfortable low of 24°C (75°F) to a warm high of 31°C (88°F). Moderate easterly winds will influence the shower activity and contribute to the transport of Saharan dust. Seas will be relatively calm, and daylight hours will be long. This forecast provides a comprehensive overview of the expected weather conditions, allowing residents and visitors to plan their activities accordingly. It also highlights the importance of monitoring air quality due to the presence of Saharan dust and staying hydrated in the warm temperatures.
