The main objective of the National Climate Outlook Forum is to present the seasonal outlook for the wet/hurricane season (June to November, 2018) and Six to Twelve Months Drought Outlook, and to investigate pathways to integrate this product into sector planning based on its applicability.

The forum is being conducted at the George Price Center for Peace and Development in the City of Belmopan.
