The Caribbean is about to turn into a dust bowl for the next few months. The Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology claims most of the region will see way less rain than normal. Exceptions include the ABC Islands plus chunks of Jamaica and the coastal Guianas where things might actually get super soggy.
Data shows fewer wet days overall but intense drenchings could hammer Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Experts worry this dry trend will empty reservoirs and kill soil moisture across the Lesser Antilles. Flood risks look low for Belize but remain dangerous in the Guianas until patterns change.
Weird Atlantic heat mixed with a weak La Niña usually reduces severe storms. However, the agency warns that flash floods can still strike without warning in vulnerable spots. Most places will feel comfortable temperature-wise before the inland heat starts cooking Belize and Trinidad later on.
Drought warnings are flashing for the Windward Islands and Grand Cayman if the rain keeps dodging them.
