BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — Governments, businesses, farmers and households across the Caribbean are being urged to step up preparations for potentially severe climate extremes as El Niño strengthens and threatens to intensify the hot and dry conditions already affecting parts of the region. In a news release on Tuesday, the Caribbean Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) and the University of the West Indies Climate Studies Group Mona (UWI CSGM) warned that the region should remain particularly vigilant as August to October marks the peak of the Caribbean’s heat season. The unusually dry conditions are also raising concern because the region is expected to enter its climatological dry season around November.

NASSAU, Bahamas (CMC) – The Central Bank of The Bahamas (CBB) says the domestic economy is projected to expand at a steady pace in 2026, relative to last year, as key indicators move closer to their medium-term growth potential. It said tourism, a primary driver of economic growth, is expected to remain robust, supported by stronger high-value added stopover performance and healthy growth in the cruise sector. In addition, new and ongoing investment projects are anticipated to provide further impetus to construction activity and employment.
