Caribbean Drought Summary

In Puerto Rico, drought-free conditions continued, with the commonwealth having experienced neither dryness nor drought since November 5, 2024.

It was another dry week for the U.S. Virgin Islands with only trace amounts of precipitation based on CoCoRaHS observations. Groundwater levels continued to drop, with St. John (Susannaberg Dpw 3) and St. Thomas (Grade School 3) wells dropped 2.0 feet and 3.4 feet, respectively, over the past month. Short-term indicators are beginning to show a slight dry signal. Mid- to long-term indicators still show normal or surplus amounts in most locations, as shown by the greenness observed in the Vegetation Health Index (VHI). All islands remain free of drought or abnormal dryness.
