Snowfall in the Caribbean islands – In the spring

Snowfall in the Caribbean islands – In the spring:

“This has never happened before in recorded history,” says reader Ronald Baker. “Snow in the Caribbean islands in the spring.  Wait until La Ninã kicks in this fall.”

1 Apr 2016 – “No, it is not an April Fools Day joke, snowflakes actually fell in the neighbouring French island of Guadeloupe.”

The event, described as ‘exceptional’ by French meteorologist Alain Museleque, took place on Thursday, March 31 in the municipality of St. Claude.

Reports from French media indicate that a very fine snowfall blanketed the hills above the town.

Museleque explained the extraordinary phenomenon on Guadeloupe Premiere TV.

“We had a mass of clouds that arrived over St. Claude….  In the mass of clouds, we had the creation of some snowflakes which fell to the ground. This has never before been seen in Guadeloupe. This is an exceptional event that we will never forget.”
