Dale C. S. Destin – The year is now expected to be wetter than usual for Antigua. My updated forecast calls for the rainfall total for 2024 for the Island to be above normal and likely be among the wettest on record.

This year will most likely get around 1524 mm (60.0 in) with a 70 percent confidence of it being in the range of 1212 to 1886 mm (48 to 74 in).
It is also likely that the year will be seriously wet or have well-above-normal rainfall, with more than 1534.4 mm (60.41 in).

The highest probability – 82 percent (up 12), is for above-normal rainfall; hence, the prediction for an expected wetter than normal year.

The numbers can also be interpreted as a 96 percent chance of above or near-normal rainfall for 2024. On the other hand, it is extremely unlikely that the year will be drier than normal, with only a 4 percent chance of such (down 5).
