WORST DROUGHT IN OVER 55 YEARS ON BERMUDA
With no heavy rains on the horizon, the drought Bermuda is presently suffering looks set to continue.
“No significant rainfall is expected in the next two weeks,” meteorologist Elizabeth Harris of the Bermuda Weather Service said.
BWS reported just 0.64 inches of rain fell in June 2005 which was the lowest precipitation rate for June since records began in 1949.
Last year’s total rainfall for June was 2.37 inches while in 2003, 5.03 inches fell during the month.
Ms Harris said one of the reasons there has been such little rainfall is the Bermuda/Azores high, which has been affecting weather systems.
