Outlooks/ Monitors
Caribbean Drought and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CDPMN)
Creating a culture of rainfall monitoring to combat the negative impacts of climate extremes and future climate change.
Precipitation Outlook
Rainfall in March-April-May in the Caribbean is likely to be above- to
normal from the US Caribbean Territories westward as well as in Trinidad
and Tobago. Note that rainfall is hardly predictable at present in other
areas.

In addition, CIMH is providing territorial WRF and hydrological model outputs.
Regional Outputs: WRF | MM5
Please note that the MM5 Models will be unavailable until further notice.
