This feels like the hottest summer ever experienced in Kingston and St Andrew to date, although the records say that, generally, 2023 was much hotter. This year, Jamaica is experiencing the effects of a super El Niño which causes much higher temperatures. The Saharan dust is also causing wind shear which suppresses the development of Atlantic tropical depressions. So, parts of Jamaica are experiencing drought conditions.
