Description

Barbados is sweltering under relentless heat, with temperatures soaring to 33°C and expected to linger through September and October. In response, the Ministry of Education is rolling out practical, heat-friendly uniforms—already debuted at Princess Margaret Secondary School—and boosting water breaks while upgrading school buildings with lighter exteriors and targeted air conditioning. With warmer nights offering little relief and heat-related illnesses on the rise, especially for outdoor workers and vulnerable groups, officials are urging everyone to stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and avoid peak sun hours to stay cool and safe.
