Rain probabilities poor
HAVANA, July 6 (Serafín Descalzo
/ www.cubanet.org) - The probabilities of
rain in the coming months that would alleviate
the year-long drought Cuba has been suffering
through are slight, said meteorologist Roger
Rivero, of the Camagüey investigative
center.
Rivero called the present drought "extraordinary"
and said the rainy season should have started
in May. Little rain has been felt across
the island since then, though, and reservoirs
keep getting lower. In the same way, subsurface
water has diminished; wells have either
dried or become deeper.
According to Rivero, Cuba can expect to
become more arid in the near future.
