Cooler temperatures and overcast, wet conditions will persist into a new week, the Jamaica Meteorological Service says, as another cold front approaches the western Caribbean.

The Met Office, in its 5:00 am forecast on Sunday (February 25), indicated that the cold front will exert its dominance come tomorrow on the dissipation of a pre-frontal system currently lingering over Jamaican skies.

Northern parishes will particularly feel the cold front’s effects.
