The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, which begins next month, is expected to be potentially less active than in recent years.
Chief Executive Officer of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency, Elizabeth Riley, says the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology is forecasting approximately 12 named storms, seven hurricanes and two major hurricanes for the season.
However, the CIMH has indicated that warmer waters around the northern Caribbean could support increased rainfall during storms, while a delayed and drier-than-usual wet season is expected overall.
