BRIDGETOWN, Barbados– The Barbados-based Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), Tuesday said despite many parts of the Caribbean continuing to receive below normal rainfall in May, the outlook for drought across the region is to be alleviated by August
In its latest publication, CIMH said that the drought “is still very much on the cards and likely to continue throughout the wet season with no long-term drought that affects large reservoirs and rivers and ground water being of concern.
“Though interests in western Belize would be recommended to monitor their water resources until at least to September, there is not much concern in the region over short-term drought that can impact small rivers, streams and ponds.”
CIMH said that over the three-month period, March to May, conditions throughout the eastern Caribbean were predominantly normal to below normal, with a few wet areas in the southern portions of the chain.
