Warming Seas and a Strengthening El Niño Point to a Hotter, Drier Caribbean
CariCOF's latest outlook flags heatwave and drought risks that remittance-dependent households should plan around now.
The Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum warns that strengthening El Niño conditions and steadily warming regional waters are raising the odds of heatwaves and drier spells across the basin. For households that depend on stable water, power and food prices — and on remittances that stretch further or thinner with each shock — the outlook is a planning document, not background noise. Diaspora decision-makers sending support home can read it as an early signal on where costs and needs are heading this season.
