Summary
Jamaica’s gripping drought just got worse — 11 of 14 parishes missed rainfall in June, with four officially declared in drought by month’s end. July, the island’s driest month, is looming, and El Niño — now strengthening and expected to persist through 2025 — is the culprit, pushing temps higher and rain events rarer. August through October look bleak: 40-50% chance of below-normal rain across most areas, with St. Elizabeth and Manchester facing even steeper odds. Heat will spike too, especially west and center, with eastern regions likely to feel the burn as well. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
