The following excerpt from CariCOF’s Caribbean Climate Outlook Newsletter summarizes the climate conditions and related hazards for the upcoming 3-month period August to October 2025:
“The forecast ENSO neutral conditions, near-average sea surface temperatures in the Tropical North Atlantic and persistent warmth north of the Caribbean imply:
(i) recurrent excessive humid heat, culminating in heatwaves as the Caribbean Heat Season peaks in August and September;
(ii) rainfall intensity and shower frequency should peak in September and October, resulting in high to extremely high potential for flooding, flash floods, cascading hazards and associated impacts;
(iii) increasing Atlantic Hurricane Season activity into September. However, Saharan dust episodes, combined with slackened winds, produce hot and humid spells with reduced air quality, all the while stifling intense shower and tropical cyclone activity. Finally, the Guianas are entering their long dry season, steadily increasing wildfire potential but decreasing flood potential there.”
