Tropical Weather Watch: The US National Hurricane Center is tracking multiple Atlantic disturbances, including one system with a 70% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within seven days and another wave with a 50% chance over the next week—no immediate threat to Antigua and Barbuda, but monitoring is urged. Hurricane Season Outlook: 268Weather and other forecasters are pointing to a quieter 2026 season, with El Niño driving lower storm numbers, though officials stress that even one landfalling storm can still be devastating. Biodiversity & Conservation: Antigua and Barbuda has created the Redonda Ecosystem Reserve, protecting nearly 30,000 hectares of land and sea and building on earlier invasive rat and goat removals that helped wildlife rebound. Local Community & Women’s Work: The ABWU Women’s Conference produced a resolution focused on safer, gender-responsive workplaces, better health supports, mental health recognition, and fair pay. Public Safety Tech: Government plans to expand surveillance cameras after a rise in brazen gun violence, aiming to deter crime and help police identify suspects. Education & Youth: A four-week cultural and educational camp is set for the Public Library, and the ABSA/Hopeful Hearts outreach visited Sunshine Home for Girls with supplies and discussions.
