Mexico, Central America & the Caribbean: Water deficits to persist in southern Mexico, and emerge later in Central America and Jamaica

Water deficits are forecast to emerge on the Baja Peninsula and will continue to emerge in southern Mexico with exceptional severity. Surpluses will re-emerge in Sonora and persist in the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, Belize, and central Cuba. Abnormal to severe deficits will emerge in much of Central America by July and in Jamaica by August.

Mexico and Central America: Water Deficits Continue in Southern Mexico and Guatemala, Surpluses Persist in the Yucatan

Water deficits are forecast to continue emerging in Mexico with greatest severity in the south. Surpluses are forecast to persist in the Yucatan Peninsula and re-emerge in Sonora. Moderate deficits are forecast to persist in southern Guatemala; some scattered surpluses are forecast elsewhere in Central America.

Mexico & Central America: Water deficits may persist in Mexico, with greatest severity in the south

Water deficits may continue to emerge throughout much of Mexico with greatest severity and extent in southern Mexico. Surpluses may persist in the northwest along the conjoined borders of Sonora and Chihuahua, and in the eastern Yucatan Peninsula. Scattered deficits and some surpluses are forecast in Central America.

Mexico: Water deficits to persist in southern Mexico, parts of Central America

Water deficits may continue to emerge throughout much of Mexico with particular severity and extent in southern Mexico. Deficits are forecast to persist in parts of Central America. Surpluses may persist in northwest Mexico along the conjoined borders of Sonora and Chihuahua, down through Sinaloa. 

Many analyses reported in ISciences-authored blog posts are based on data generated by the ISciences Water Security Indicator Model (WSIM). Other sources, if used, are referenced in footnotes accompanying individual posts. WSIM is a validated capability that produces monthly reports on current and forecast global freshwater surpluses and deficits with lead times of 1-9 months at 0.25°x0.25° resolution. This capability has been in continuous operation since April 2011 and has proven to provide reliable forecasts of emerging water security concerns in that time-frame. WSIM has the ability to assess the impacts of water anomalies on people, agriculture, and electricity generation. Detailed data, customized visualizations, and reports are available for purchase.
