The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) is advising citizens to stay prepared for the upcoming 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season, which begins on 1st June, 2024 and runs until 30th November, 2024.
Below is the list of twenty-one (21) tropical cyclone names that will be used for the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season (in alphabetical order):
The Met Office notes that there are six (6) lists of names for tropical cyclones that develop in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the North Atlantic. The six (6) lists are used in rotation and recycled every six (6) years, (i.e. the 2024 list will be used again in 2030). The list of names covers only twenty-one (21) letters of the alphabet as it is difficult to find six (6) suitable names (one for each of the 6 rotating lists), starting with Q, U, X, Y and Z. Since 1953, Atlantic tropical cyclones have been named from lists originated by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami, Florida. They are now maintained and updated by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), the South-most end of a passing frontal system is to the North-Northeast of the Lesser Antilles and will create low-level convergence across the Leeward Islands throughout this outlook period (Tuesday 30th April - Saturday 4th May, 2024), with partly cloudy to cloudy periods producing moderate showers in varying areas. The probability for the development of a heavy shower or thunderstorm increases towards the more Northerly islands.
For the most part, the Windward Islands are expected to be relatively fairer than the Leeward Islands, but with low-level convergence, a surface perturbation (trough) and some increase in moisture advection on Wednesday (1st May, 2024) and Thursday (2nd May, 2024), Trinidad and Tobago is likely to see partly cloudy, to at times, cloudy conditions, with light to moderate showers in varying areas, and a 40% chance for the development of isolated heavy showers or a thunderstorm. In the event of a heavy shower or thunderstorm, winds can become gusty and street or flash flooding is likely in the vicinity. The Met Office notes that there is mild Saharan dust in the atmosphere at present. From Thursday (2nd May, 2024), Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere is expected to increase to mild to moderate for the remainder of this outlook period. In the event of any bush or brush fires, landfill or forest fires, together with the Saharan dust, a reduction in air quality is to be expected. Sensitive persons are advised to take precautions as necessary. Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS.

The Environmental Management Authority (EMA) is advising the public that the current air quality level has registered UNHEALTHY on the Air Quality Index (AQI) at the EMA's Monitoring Stations in Toco and Port-of-Spain at 11:00 AM this morning (Monday 22nd April, 2024).
The increase in Particulate Matter (PM) is attributed to Saharan dust and the levels range between 151 - 153. According to the EMA, “Everyone, in particular, sensitive groups including older adults, children and individuals with heart or lung disease, respiratory ailments and allergies are strongly advised to avoid prolonged or heavy exertion.” The AQI levels at the Monitoring Stations at Scarborough, Point Lisas, Mayaro, San Fernando and Arima range between 117 to 143, representing air quality that is UNHEALTHY for SENSITIVE GROUPS. Members of the public are advised to visit the EMA's website and social media pages for daily updates on air quality in Trinidad and Tobago.

About the AQI
The EMA, through the National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Network has been obtaining accurate, real-time assessment of ambient air quality at strategic points nationally. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a number used by Government agencies to communicate to the public how polluted the air currently is, or how polluted it is forecast to become. As the AQI rises, an increasingly large percentage of the population is likely to experience severe adverse health effects. There are currently seven (7) Ambient Air Quality Monitoring stations in Trinidad and Tobago. Six (6) are located in Trinidad (Toco, Mayaro, Arima, Port-of-Spain, Point Lisas and San Fernando) and the seventh station is located at Signal Hill, Tobago. Please be guided accordingly. According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), we can expect mostly dull, hazy and breezy conditions at times today (Monday 22nd April, 2024), with a low chance of brief isolated showers. Tonight will be mostly fair despite isolated early morning showers.
A moderate to high concentration of Saharan dust is present. Persons sensitive to changes in air quality are advised to exercise the necessary precautions. The Met Office notes that significant concentrations of Saharan dust are expected to persist throughout the week. The forecast maximum temperature today will be 34°C at Piarco in Trinidad and 33°C at Crown Point in Tobago. Seas are slight to moderate with waves 1m to 1.5m in open waters and below 1m in sheltered areas. Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS. According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), a significant increase in thickness of Saharan dust is expected from today (Saturday 20th April, 2024), increasing in concentration as the day progresses. This Saharan dust outbreak of mostly high concentrations is expected to last until next week. Persons who are susceptible to these changes in air quality are advised to take appropriate precautions.
Partly cloudy and hazy conditions are expected today, with occasional light to moderate showers occurring in varying localities. There is also a medium (40%) chance of a few heavy showers and thunderstorms, particularly near hilly and Western areas. Tonight will be fair but hazy.
