GENERAL SITUATION: A weak ridge of high pressure is maintaining gentle easterly breezes and generally stable conditions across the Turks and Caicos Islands today.
SPECIAL WARNINGS: There are currently no watches or warnings in effect at this time.
The public is advised to remain hydrated, wear protective clothing and sunscreen, and seek shaded areas while outside during peak sunshine hours (11am – 4pm), as UV indices are expected to be in the very high to extreme range, and the heat index possibly reaching the triple digits across all areas.
