Barbados: A flood watch has been issued for Barbados due to inclement weather conditions that are expected to impact the low-lying and flood prone areas. The unsaturated conditions will generate pockets of moderate to heavy showers over the next few days in the country. 

However, some showers are also expected in the upcoming days due to the inclement conditions that could pose a threat to the low-lying areas. According to the Met Department, there is also a chance and medium possibility of flooding that will cause minor landslides and other acute conditions. 

The chances of the water settlements have also been increased, leading to the issuance of the flood watch in Barbados. These settlements could block the roads and fields are expected to make difficult for the residents to travel through Barbados. There are also chances of delays on traffic routes in these areas, making it difficult for the citizens.
