## Resource

The wet season’s finale is shaping up as a wild ride: intense northern heatwaves, erratic rainfall, and a quieter-than-expected hurricane season—thanks to El Niño and global warming. But don’t relax yet—when rain arrives, it’ll be heavy, risking floods and flash floods. Saharan dust may calm storms but worsen humidity and air quality. Meanwhile, droughts are gripping western Barbados, southwest Tobago, and other islands, threatening agriculture. Stay alert: heat, downpours, and dry spells are all coming your way.
