The US Embassy in Kingston has issued a travel warning to its citizens travelling to Jamaica because of the severe drought conditions in the country.
The embassy says travellers are to be careful and alert of their surroundings, especially when driving in rural areas and to monitor local media reports and heed warnings from local authorities.
According to a statement from the embassy, Jamaica is currently facing severe drought conditions, which have dried out much of the underlying vegetation throughout the country.
It says because of these dry conditions, fires can start unexpectedly and change direction quickly.
