Cayman sees a shift to a wetter weather pattern
After months of less than average rainfall, there has been a noticeable shift towards more typical rainy season conditions in Grand Cayman.
Over the past week, there has been rainfall – if even just a brief shower – almost every day on Grand Cayman and umbrellas are becoming a more common sight.
At this time of year, conditions become more conducive for rainfall; warm sea surface temperatures, along with the warming of the land during the day creates atmospheric instability. Warm, moist air rises in the atmosphere quite rapidly, where it cools and condenses, often forming the cumulonimbus clouds that we typically associate with summer thunderstorms and rain over the Cayman Islands.
