In mid-May 2017, Haiti’s National Meteorological Centre (Centre National de Météorologie-CNM) indicated that weather conditions in the Caribbean were under the influence of humid air resulting in stormy rains that occurred from 16 to 18 May. The Centre estimated that rainfall affected the entire Haitian territory, particularly the South, South-East, Grand Anse, Artibonite, Central, Northwest and West regions (www.haitilibre.com).
