PURPLE FLAG β Jellyfish in the water
Jellyfish have been reported at The Baths. A purple flag flies alongside the red, yellow or green flag β it does not describe sea conditions, it means marine pests are in the water.
Rinse stings with vinegar or salt water, not fresh water, and seek medical help if the reaction is severe.
Take Care on ALL Beaches due to JELLYFISH - Sea Wasp (Carybdea alata) - including The Bubbly Pool JVD and Anegada.

BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A lingering upper-level low will continue to promote showers and βοΈ isolated thunderstorms across the regional waters through midweek. High pressure over the central Atlantic will maintain moderate east- southeast winds, though winds will gradually diminish through Tuesday as the pressure gradient relaxes. Choppy seas will persist across portions of the offshore Caribbean and Atlantic waters today before gradually improving. Lighter east to east-southeast winds and generally lower seas are expected from Tuesday into midweek. Mariners should remain alert, as thunderstorms may locally produce gusty winds, higher seas, frequent lightning, and reduced visibility.
Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves, along with the occasional height of the average highest 10 percent of the waves.
