Managing director of the Water Resources Authority, Peter Clarke, says forecasts suggest rainfall for the month of October will be no more than that recorded in September.
Clark was speaking on Nationwide at Five on Tuesday evening.
Speaking on Cliff Hughes Online on Tuesday morning, principal director of the Met Service, Evan Thompson, said drought conditions have spread to about nine of the island’s fourteen parishes.
He added that some parishes could see little to no rainfall in a single month if conditions persist, with the El Niño phenomenon still to reach its peak
Clarke believes two to three weeks of steady rainfall will replenish rivers and thereby boost water supply systems.
