BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) — The Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum (CariCOF) says a very strong El Niño could worsen drought and bring prolonged humid heat across parts of the Caribbean over the next three months, with heatwaves likely in some areas.
In its latest Caribbean Climate Outlook Newsletter for October to December, the Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum said the strong El Niño, during the second half of the Atlantic Hurricane Season and the transition out of the region’s wet and heat seasons, could result in an expansion of impactful drought.
CariCOF said humid heat is expected to peak in October in the Guianas and could linger in the Lesser Antilles, potentially resulting in heatwaves.
