Montserrat will see intense, (near-)record night-time and daytime heat with increasing humidity from June to September, according to the Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum (CariCOF) in its latest forecast for the upcoming months.

It states that there will be frequent, very likely intense (and persistent) episodes of heat stress in the vulnerable population and small livestock, because of high temperatures and increasing humidity through September, and cooling needs rising faster than in most other years, peaking in August and September.

Residents and visitors are advised to stay informed, take the necessary safety measures, and remain vigilant as Montserrat.
