The Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS) says its teams are currently addressing power outages in some sections of the island. 

This comes as sections of the island experience unstable weather due to the outer bands of a tropical wave passing just south of the island.

“In some extreme situations, wind-borne missiles (such as zinc sheets) have come into contact with power lines,” JPS said in a statement on Thursday, June 27

Affected parishes include Kingston, St Andrew, St Catherine, Clarendon, and St Elizabeth. 

JPS said while its team has been working to restore customers, some areas are still out of electricity.

The company says it expects some of the customers who are out to be restored by the end of the day.
