Serious drought occurring in the Caribbean

The worst drought in five years is occurring in the Caribbean, from Puerto Rico to Cuba and to the island of St. Lucia. Reservoirs are drying out, and cattle and crops are dying.

Advice

Travellers in some areas of the Caribbean may encounter strict water rationing. Some resorts may turn water off for periods during the day.
