Drought in parts of the Caribbean during the first half of 2025 is a cause for concern for the Caribbean Drought and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CDPMN).
In its Drought Bulletin for January 2025, the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) – under which the CDPMN operates – advised that short-term drought could affect small rivers, streams and ponds in the northern Bahamas islands and Cuba by the end of March.
With uncertainty over rainfall in Belize from April - June, the bulletin revealed long-term drought there can impact large rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater by the end of May. The islands of northern Bahamas, and southern Puerto Rico are also encouraged to monitor their resources for long-term drought.
