July is expected to be “wetter” than usual – Hydromet

Chief Hydrometeorological Officer, Dr Garvin Cummings said the month of July was expected to be wetter than usual.

“The forecast at this point in time is indicating that for the month of July, we will continue to see wetter- than-usual conditions with the exception perhaps of Regions One, Two and Three. The other regions will record wetter than usual conditions,” Dr Cummings said in an update on Tuesday.
However, he noted that “as we move into August, you will find that conditions will return to the normal dryness that is expected”.
“August, September, October, we expect the conditions will be dry as usual,” he added.
With this forecast, Dr Cummings pointed out that concerns for flooding beyond July would be significantly reduced.
