The article offers information on the climatology and the future climate change in the Caribbean region based on the global general circulation. A climatological analysis on climate variations in the Caribbean is presented, followed by discussion on climate change scenarios based on the findings from Parallel Climate Model (PCM). PCM is utilized to study the impact of the global anthropogenic carbon dioxide concentration on the Caribbean climate. Evolution of Sea Surface Temperature (SST), cloud formation and solar radiative interactions affect the volume and frequency of rainfall. A future warming is predicted to reach one degree Celsius, along with increase in rain fall during the wet season, and a possible increase in tropical storm in the region.
