In an Official Statement this afternoon (Tuesday 5th January 2021), the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) confirmed a record-breaking 19.0°C was observed at Piarco during this morning’s pre-dawn hours. The Met Office states that this was due to colder air from the North encroaching onto Trinidad and Tobago, “in conditions where the winds were mostly calm, with pre-existing very dry conditions and almost cloud-free skies for most of the night.” The Met Office further noted that this is the lowest temperature recorded at Piarco for January or any other month during the last decade, since 2011. In its recent ‘ 2021 Dry Season Rainfall and Temperature Outlook,’ the Met Office indicated that T&T can expect several cold nights in January and February - "Few nights during January and February are likely to be relatively cold with minimum temperatures falling below 20.0°C".

Following heavy showers and Thunderstorms in several areas of T&T this afternoon (Wednesday 30th December 2020), the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued its outlook for the next few days.
The Met Office notes that showers and isolated Thunderstorms will remain in the forecast for this week and rough sea conditions are possible from Friday night (1st January 2021). Low-level convergence and increased moisture will likely result in the continuation of periods of showers and Thunderstorms. Gusty winds and Street/Flash Flooding will also be a lingering threat. Wind speeds are set to increase over the weekend and rough seas are possible as a result. It is possible for wave heights to be within 2.5m and 3.2m (8 - 10.5 ft) in open waters, which is categorized as “rough,” between Friday night (1st January 2021) and Sunday night (3rd January 2021). The agitation of sea conditions is being caused by a wind event, resulting from the positioning of atmospheric features (including the sub-tropical high) over the Atlantic. A Hazardous Seas Alert has not yet been issued, however persons with marine interests should follow the situation closely.
