Tech Talk: SJU NWS StormReady Dashboard for Agricultural Purposes – October 10

The Caribbean Climate Center will be offering technical talks on the web tools available for decision making in agriculture and forestry. Our tools aim to provide practical strategies to the agricultural and forestry sectors to adapt to climate change and extreme events (droughts, floods, or hurricanes).

In the next Tech Talk presentation on October 10 (11:00am AST-11:45 am AST), we will explore the SJU NWS StormReady Dashboard, an interactive tool that provides real-time weather information and detailed forecasts for the coming days. This resource includes data on estimated rainfall, susceptibility to landslides, coastal flooding caused by sea level rise or storm surge, drought, and hydrological conditions, among others. 

Farmers will learn how to use these features to enhance decision-making and agricultural planning in the face of potential weather and climate risks. This event is collaborated with the invited organization: San Juan, National Weather Service, NOAA.
