Summary for the upcoming 3-month period, November 2023 to January 2024: “North Atlantic temperatures should remain well above average, continuing to (1) fuel some tropical cyclone activity; and (2) increase shower intensity during the tail end of the Caribbean Wet Season, leading to a high potential for flooding and cascading hazards until the end of 2023. Episodes of moderate heat stress may linger with high temperatures, humidity and heatwaves during the transition out of the 2023 Heat Season in November. Drought concerns may continue in Barbados, Grand Cayman and parts of the Lesser Antilles. A decrease in the frequency of wet spells may cause arising drought concerns in the Greater Antilles and, partly due to El Niño, in parts of the Guianas. “
