The Atlantic hurricane season generally runs from June to November each year and can also affect the eastern and southern USA with heavy rain, flooding and extremely high winds.
Citizens with plans to be in the affected region during this period should consider the need to travel based on information relating to extreme weather projections.
As there is no Irish Embassy or Consulate in Dominica, we are limited in the help we can offer you in an emergency situation.
