GREAT BAY (DCOMM):--- The Department of Disaster Management has been updated by the Meteorological Department of Curacao that the country remains under a heavy rainfall advisory (is when heavy rains about to occur or occurring already, but not strong enough to require a warning) until Monday 9:00pm.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution while driving in low lying areas which could flood – street flooding - due to forecasted heavy and persistent rainfall, and/or avoid driving in flooded streets until heavy rains taper off or has ended.

Motorists driving near hillsides are also asked to exercise caution with respect to possible rock falls.

Drivers and individuals who do not need to be on the road should remain at home until weather conditions improve.

Lightning strikes are also forecasted, and therefore residents should switch off and disconnect sensitive electronic equipment; and disconnect your phone line from your computer.
