Summary for the upcoming 3-month period, May to July 2022: “Drier than normal seasonal rainfall and fewer than normal wet days and wet spells is expected across most of the region, which could delay the onset of the rain season. However, wetter than normal seasonal rainfall and an increase in wet spells is expected along The Guianas, Cayman Is., and The Bahamas, where marginal flash flood and soil erosion potential may develop. Extreme wet spells are not expected to feature more than usual for the region. In general, temperatures are expected to be close to normal across the region with an expected reduction in dry spells. Incursions of Saharan dust typically peak in frequency at this time.”
