Antigua and Barbuda’s air quality has dropped to moderate levels due to the thirteenth significant wave of Saharan dust this year, the Meteorological Services confirmed on Tuesday.

Antigua and Barbuda latest air quality bulletin places the Air Quality Index (AQI) between 51 and 80—classified as “moderate” based on fine particulate matter levels (PM2.5 and PM10).

Conditions are expected to persist until Thursday.

While the health risk remains low for most, authorities warn that sensitive groups—particularly asthmatics, children, the elderly, and those with heart or respiratory issues—should limit prolonged outdoor activity. The alert is listed as Air Pollution Level II.

  1. These dust surges are becoming way too frequent! I hope the government is monitoring the long-term health effects on the population.

  2. Why isn’t there a plan to help schools protect children during these dust events? Outdoor activities should be suspended when the air quality drops.

  3. Ah, the annual Saharan dust is here. A good reminder for everyone, especially those with respiratory conditions, to take precautions and limit outdoor activities if sensitive.
