Summary for the upcoming 3-month period, September to November: “The second half of the wet/hurricane season is forecast to have frequent wet days and wet spells and ample tropical cyclone activity in Belize and the Caribbean Islands. This results in frequent disruptions of outdoor activities and enhances water levels in soils, rivers and reservoirs. The potential for flash floods, long-term flooding and cascading impacts is high. In addition, through September in the Bahamas and Greater Antilles and through October in the Lesser Antilles, heat stress will be peaking during heat waves. By contrast, this period marks the hot, dry season in the Guianas. Yet, higher than usual numbers of wet spells may lead to slow regression of any flood waters.”
