This Bulletin provides climate monitoring information for April 2024 and climate forecast information for Grenada from May to July 2024.
Most historical observations were recorded at Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA), Point Salines, St George, with additional rainfall data throughout the state recorded by the Nawasa and Ministry of Agriculture. The forecast information is drawn from the Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum (CariCOF) climate outlooks. Other inputs were made by the Land Use Division of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Highlights
- Drought watch continues for the State of Grenada at least up to the end of May 2024
- Above-normal temperatures expected to persist, with imminent heatwaves during the Heat Season
- Extremely active Atlantic Hurricane Season forecast for 2024
The report also notes implications for the following sectors:
- Water: Despite a forecast for above-normal to normal rainfall between May and July, the government and relevant authorities have enforced much-needed water conservation measures
- Health: The region is entering an intense heat season, with recurrent heatwaves. People are urged to avoid outdoor activity between 10 am and 4 pm. Provisions should be made for the elderly and young children to keep them cool and hydrated
- Agriculture: As temperatures are expected to be above-normal, farmers should ensure water management plans are in place, taking into consideration water for livestock as well as crops
- Tourism: The forecast for above-normal day and nighttime temperatures indicates that there will be an increase in the demand for cooling. Apart from the heat, visitors are advised to protect themselves during episodes of significant dust haze
- Disaster Risk Management: This year, experts are forecasting 23 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes

Caribbean Regional Climate Center is part of a UN program. I guess this “forecast” is an acknowledgement that TPTB plan to continue their climate terrorism through the release of hundreds of tons of coal fly ash, aka Sahara dust, over the Eastern Atlantic region to give the population the impression that the earth is in a climate emergency. This light grey haze is so obviously not from Africa that a surprising number of people I’ve talked to already know it’s fraud, but the effect of heating the lower atmosphere and suppressing rainfall are unfortunately real.
