KINGSTON, Jamaica—The Jamaica Public Service (JPS) says it is working to restore electricity to several customers following overnight lightning storms that caused power outages across sections of the island.

Customers in parts of Kingston and St Andrew, including Duhaney Park, Hughenden, Patrick City and surrounding communities, are among those affected.

In St Catherine, outages have also been reported in sections of Bog Walk, Linstead, Ewarton, Caymanas Estate and surrounding areas.

JPS says its crews are working to restore electricity as quickly and safely as possible.

Meanwhile, a frontal system is currently located across the north-western Caribbean and is expected to remain in the region until early next week.

According to the Meteorological Service of Jamaica, cloudy and cooler conditions are expected to persist throughout the period.

Cloudy conditions, accompanied by showers and thunderstorms, are expected across northern parishes and hilly areas elsewhere this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms are also expected to linger into tonight.
