Outlooks/ MonitorsCaribbean 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 OutlookRainfall in January-February-March in the Caribbean is likely to be below- to normal in the ABC Islands, Barbados, Cayman, eastern Guianas, Jamaica and the Leeward and Windward Islands. Note that rainfall is hardly predictable at present in other areas. Numerical Weather PredictionsNumerical weather prediction tools are being used increasingly to support weather forecasts over multiple days. CIMH is providing outputs from its regional implementations of MM5V3 and WRF to National Meteorological Services in the Caribbean to support their extended forecasts. In addition, CIMH is providing territorial WRF and hydrological model outputs. Regional Outputs: WRF | MM5
Territorial Outputs: Haiti Please note that the MM5 Models will be unavailable until further notice. Monthly Weather SummaryPart A Part B Summaries are added periodically as prepared by J. Pigggot, K. Carter, M. Hall, and L. Agard. Corporate AddressCaribbean Institute for Meteorology and HydrologyP.O.

Mission StatementTo assist in improving and developing the Meteorological and Hydrological Services as well as providing the awareness of the benefits of Meteorology and Hydrology for the economic well-being of the CIMH member states. This is achieved through training, research, investigations, and the provision of related specialised services and advice. Observations
ResourcesCaribbean Centre for Climate and Environmental Simulations (CCCES)The mission of the Caribbean Centre for Climate and Environmental Simulations (CCCES) is to provide climate and environmental researchers in CARICOM Member States with state-of-the-art computational resources to (i) develop solutions to challenging climate and environmental problems in the region to inform decison-making; (ii) further climate and environmental research in the region; and (iii) support risk-based early warning systems across the region. Women in Meteorology & HydrologyThe Caribbean Women in Meteorology and Hydrology (CWMH) network in proposed to introduce some of the Geneva Conference recommendations. The main focus would be exchange of information, education and support. Most important will be the emphasis on regionally education and mentoring programs among the women in the field. Caribbean AgroMeteorological Initiative (CAMI)The Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) in partnership with the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) of ten Caribbean member States have received a grant from the European Union through the African Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) Science and Technology (S&T) Programme for the Caribbean Agrometeorological Initiative (CAMI). WMO-CGMS VIRTUAL LABORATORYA key component of the Strategy for Education and Training in Satellite Meteorology adopted by the WMO Executive Council, is the WMO-CGMS Virtual Laboratory for Training and Education in Satellite Meteorology (VLab) with the network of regional Centres of Excellence for satellite training. |
