Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Southeast and Caribbean Region for March–May 2024. Dated June 2024. (Updated July 2024 to add Spanish translation of Caribbean information.)

June 7, 2024

Above-normal to much above normal rainfall was observed across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the past two months, putting an end to remaining drought across the Caribbean U.S. territories. In fact, through May 31, parts of the USVI and Puerto Rico are having their wettest year on record.

April 11, 2024

Beneficial rains were observed since February 1 across portions of the territories, causing drought conditions to relax in Puerto Rico and in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

Although some dryness and drought conditions persist in other areas,  the northeastern Caribbean is moving into the start of its wet season, and drought conditions are expected to improve further.
