Summary for the upcoming 3-month period, January to March 2022: “La Niña conditions remain in place in this cool part of the dry season, leading to frequent dry spells in areas west of Puerto Rico — particularly in the Bahamas, Cayman Is. and Cuba – and are likely to increase wildfire potential and decrease water levels in surface reservoirs and ponds. By contrast, more wet days and a few wet spells may slow water reservoir loss in the Guianas and the Lesser Antilles. Finally, a particularly wet season is expected until February in northern parts of the Guianas, with high potential for flooding and associated hazards.”
