BMS at forefront of weather forecasting

Government has positioned the Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS), through its advanced weather forecasting drone technology, as a leader in producing weather forecasting data for the benefit of the region. Word of this from Minister of Home Affairs and Information, Wilfred Abrahams. He says because of this technology and the island's location, Barbados is better positioned to monitor weather systems coming off the African coast. Minister Abrahams made the revelation during the current affairs programme One On One, produced by the Public Affairs Department. He lauded the effort of the Met Services department, noting that they have designed their own weather stations using 3D technology to assist in the measuring of wind speed, rainfall and temperatures.
