Forecasters Warn of an Early, Active Hurricane Season Across the Caribbean
With ocean temperatures at record highs, forecasters are warning of an early and active season and urging households to prepare now.
Meteorologists have flagged the risk of an early and active hurricane season, pointing to record June ocean temperatures and El Nino-linked disruptions expected to hit the region harder this year. The warnings land as communities from Carriacou to the wider Caribbean continue rebuilding from recent storms.
Agencies are urging households to check emergency supplies, review insurance and confirm shelter plans before peak months. For the diaspora, it is a prompt to help family at home prepare early rather than in the rush of a warning.
