Caribbean Islands
The 2015 Caribbean drought is an ongoing drought affecting the Caribbean islands, from Cuba to Trinidad and Tobago.[1][2] The situation is further aggravated by the presence of an abnormal amount of dust and dry air over the southern Atlantic.[3] Besides the especially hard hit U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, other Caribbean islands were affected by drought conditions to varying degrees.[1] These include Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St. Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago.[1][4][2] The drought region also extends to Guyana in the northeastern region of South America.[2]
