According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), the North Atlantic high pressure cells continue to produce mostly ridging of high pressure across Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands. Due to the passing of a frontal system to the North, there is expected to be an increase in moisture convergence over the Leeward Islands between Wednesday (28th February, 2024) and Friday (1st March, 2024).
While there is likely to be an increase in moisture advection and convergence across the Lesser Antilles, mostly fair, sunny and breezy conditions with a slight haze are expected across Trinidad and Tobago for this outlook period, with intermittent patches of clouds, producing brief, light or moderate showers over varying areas, and the low chance for an isolated heavy shower to occur, especially near hilly areas. No major precipitation event or significant rainfall accumulations on the synoptic scale is predicted, but in interactions with the land topography and local dynamics, there is the possibility for isolated, moderate or heavy showers to develop, especially near hilly areas. A long and relatively uninterrupted fetch across the equatorial Atlantic is expected to remain throughout the outlook period, therefore, winds are likely to continue to be steady. Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere is presently mostly mild, occasionally moderate, with a continuing reduction to mild concentrations from Wednesday (28th February, 2024), and for the remainder of this outlook period. Sensitive persons are still advised to continue to take the necessary precautions. The Met Office has provided the following 5-day weather outlook for T&T: Wednesday (28th February, 2024)
Thursday (29th February, 2024)
Friday (1st March, 2024)
Saturday (2nd March, 2024)
Sunday (3rd March, 2024)
Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS.

He managed to make it to Saddle Road, where he collapsed on the roadway and died. During the shooting and chaos, a vehicle crashed along Saddle Road on the pavement, near Moraldo Street. Police were notified and Officers from the Western Division, the Homicide Bureau of Investigations (HBI) and the Northern Division, responded to the scene. Officers conducted immediate grid searches in the area. However, the suspects involved in the shooting were not found. Crime scene investigators recovered several spent 5.56mm and 9mm shells.

Post-mortems are scheduled to take place this week at the Forensic Science Centre in St. James. Investigations are continuing. More on this as it becomes available.

Who Should be Worried?
What Should I Do?
On Sunday morning (25th February, 2024), the air quality level registered as UNHEALTHY on the AQI at the EMA's Monitoring Station in San Fernando at 11:00 AM. Meanwhile, also on Sunday, readings taken at Monitoring Stations in Arima, Mayaro, Point Lisas and Port-of-Spain registered as UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS at 11:00 AM. The recent increase in Particulate Matter (PM) is attributed to Saharan dust.
The Air Quality Monitoring Network
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 six (6) Ambient Air Quality Monitoring stations in Trinidad and Tobago. Five (5) are located in Trinidad (Mayaro, Arima, Port-of-Spain, Point Lisas and San Fernando) and the sixth station is located at Signal Hill, Tobago. 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. Real time updates on air quality can also be accessed via this link: https://ei.weblakes.com/RTTPublic/DshBrdAQI. Please be guided accordingly.
