The Barbados-based Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum is warning the region to be prepared for increased cyclones and severe weather activity over the next three months.
The regional forum says 2024 is a year of climate extremes in the Caribbean with increased reports of flooding and non stop record breaking heat.
In its latest Climate Outlook publication CariCOF said ocean conditions imply increased tropical cyclone and severe weather activity through December, resulting in high potential for flooding, flash floods, cascading hazards and associated impacts.
It said unusual oceanic heat further implies episodes of oppressive humid heat could continue into early-November, particularly Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao, the Guianas and the Windward Islands.
CariCOF says long term drought will be evolving in southwest Belize, French Guiana and Trinidad, and might possibly develop or continue in coastal Guyana, the United States Virgin islands, St. Vincent and Tobago.
