The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM) is advising the traveling public that there have been reports of a fallen tree along the North Coast Road, in the vicinity of Maracas Lookout, blocking both lanes. Commuters are advised to use any available alternative routes.
First responders are aware of the situation and are mobilizing to remove the debris. The public is advised to follow official sources for additional information and updates. Persons interested in signing-up to the Public Alert Notification System (PANS) can do so via this link: https://member.everbridge.net/2388693306310661/new. More on this as it becomes available. This is a developing story - refresh this page for updates. According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), we can expect partly cloudy conditions today (Wednesday 3rd April, 2024), with a few scattered showers/rain over broad areas. There is a low to medium (30% to 60%) chance that some of these showers could become heavy and/or thundery. There conditions are expected to improve gradually as the day progresses. Tonight will be fair to partly cloudy at times with a few lingering isolated showers.
The Met Office notes that we can expect gusty winds, street and/or flash flooding in the vicinity of heavy showers/thunderstorms. The forecast maximum temperature today will be 32°C at Piarco in Trinidad and 31°C at Crown Point in Tobago. Seas are moderate with waves up to 2m 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 passing perturbation across the Windward and Southern Leeward Islands, with associated low-level wind convergence and increased moisture advection, together with some enhancement from a generally Southwesterly flow in the upper atmosphere, are the main factors in the production of precipitation today (Tuesday 2nd April, 2024) and tomorrow (Wednesday 3rd April, 2024). From Thursday (4th April, 2024), the atmosphere returns to a more general ridging pattern across the Lesser Antilles.
On the synoptic scale, no major precipitation-causing event or significant rainfall accumulation is predicted for the Lesser Antilles, but with some low-level convergence and intermittent patches of moisture advection interacting with the local topographies, there is likely to be a few brief, light or moderate showers and possibly an isolated heavy shower, especially near hilly areas. From Thursday (4th April, 2024), generally fair and sunny conditions are expected across Trinidad and Tobago for the remainder of the outlook period, except for a few showers at times when there are intermittent patches of moisture advection interacting with the local topography and daytime land heating. There is still a chance for an isolated, moderate to heavy shower to develop, favouring hilly areas during the late mornings to afternoons. The surface and near-surface synoptic wind-field across Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands is expected to show a relative increase in speed during this outlook period. Breezy, to at times windy conditions are likely, especially in elevated areas or in the vicinity of any shower which might occur. Although this could provide some much needed ventilation, the maximum daytime temperatures are still expected to get up into the mid-thirties of degrees Celsius on some days. Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere will be mostly mild until Friday (5th April, 2024), when there is expected to be an increase to mostly moderate concentrations for the remainder of this outlook period. Although analysis is indicating elevated levels of moisture and increased precipitation during today (Tuesday 2nd April, 2024) and tomorrow (Wednesday 3rd April, 2024), it is to be noted that we are still in the Dry Season, and as the atmosphere begins to subsequently dry out once more, the probability for bush and brush fires, together with the possibility for landfill and forest fires, will again begin to rise. These are likely to continue to contribute to the reduction in the air quality at times. Sensitive persons are still advised to take the precautions as necessary. The Met Office has provided the following 5-day weather outlook for T&T: Wednesday (3rd April, 2024)
Thursday (4th April, 2024)
Friday (5th April, 2024)
Saturday (6th April, 2024)
Sunday (7th April, 2024)
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), we can expect occasional partly cloudy/cloudy intervals today (Tuesday 2nd April, 2024) with showers. There is also a low – medium (30% – 40%) chance of isolated thunderstorm activity. Tonight will be partly cloudy with showers over a few areas and the low (30%) chance of the odd isolated thunderstorm.
The Met Office notes that street/isolated flash flooding can occur in the event of heavy downpours/thunderstorms. The forecast maximum temperature today will be 29°C at Piarco in Trinidad and 28°C at Crown Point in Tobago. Seas are moderate with waves 1.5m to 2m in open waters and below 1m (choppy near showers) in sheltered areas. Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS.
UPDATE (01/04/24): The Met Office has canceled its Hazardous Seas Alert (Yellow Level) approximately four (4) hours earlier than scheduled. The risk posed by impactful Northeasterly long period swells has diminished and sea conditions around Trinidad and Tobago have been improving. Waves are currently 1.5m to 2m in open waters and less than 1m in sheltered areas.
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued a Hazardous Seas Alert (Yellow Level) for a total of forty (40) hours. The Alert begins at 8:00 PM tonight (Saturday 30th March, 2024) and will remain in effect until 12:00 PM on Monday (1st April, 2024) for Northern and North-Eastern coastal areas of Trinidad and Tobago.
According to the Met Office, North-Northeasterly long period swells are expected to affect the coastlines of Trinidad and Tobago. These swells can result in occasional battering waves at coastal regions and can be exacerbated during High Tides. Near-shore activities (fishing, sea bathing, mooring of boats, etc.) can be adversely affected.
All marine interests should monitor sea conditions and exercise caution along affected areas. Limit marine activities where possible. Fisher-folk are advised to take the necessary precautions in securing their vessels.

According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), there is a well formed high pressure cell across the North Atlantic, and ridging is expected to continue to be the dominant feature over the Windward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago, during this outlook period. A frontal system passing to the North of the Lesser Antilles is expected to influence the synoptic wind-field across Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands by causing it to be reduced in speed, and thereby reducing the ventilation across the Southern Islands. Without any major cloud coverage, a relatively dryer atmosphere, and reduced ventilation, there is likely to be higher concentrations of sunshine reaching the surface and a relative increase in maximum temperatures during the daytime.
Mostly fair and sunny conditions are expected across Trinidad and Tobago for this outlook period, except for a few brief showers at times, when there are intermittent patches of moisture advection interacting with the local topography. On the synoptic scale, no major precipitation causing event or significant rainfall accumulation is predicted for Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands. A passing frontal system to the North is expected to influence a relative increase in moisture convergence over the Leeward Islands and to some extent, the Northern Windward Islands. The Met Office notes that from Friday (29th March 2024), there is likely to be an increase in the sea swell periods, so persons should be on the lookout for energetic near-shore waves, at times. Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere is expected to be mostly mild during this outlook period. Bush and brush fires, together with the possibility for landfill and forest fires, will likely contribute to the reduction in air quality at times. Sensitive persons are still advised to continue to take the necessary precautions. 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 ridging pattern across the Lesser Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago, continue to be the dominant feature for this outlook period. From Monday evening (25th March, 2024) until Tuesday (26th March, 2024), due to the influence on the wind-flow by a passing frontal system to the North of the Lesser Antilles, there is expected to be increased moisture convergence over the Leeward Islands and the development of a weak surface perturbation over the Windward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago.
Mostly fair, sunny and breezy conditions are expected across Trinidad and Tobago for this outlook period. Intermittent patches of moisture advection, together with some surface convergence, or the influence of a weak perturbation, interacting with the local topography, is likely to produce brief, light or moderate showers over varying areas, with a chance for an isolated heavy shower to occur, mainly near hilly areas. On the synoptic scale, no major precipitation-causing event or significant rainfall accumulation is predicted for Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands. On Monday (25th March, 2024) to Tuesday (26th March, 2024), a passing frontal system to the North is expected to influence an increase in moisture and convergence over the Leeward Islands, with increased probabilities for a few moderate to heavy showers or a thunderstorm favouring the most-Northerly islands. Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere is expected to be mostly mild during this outlook period. Bush and brush fires, together with the possibility for landfill and forest fires, will likely contribute to the reduction in air quality at times. 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: Saturday (23rd March, 2024)
Sunday (24th March, 2024)
Monday (25th March, 2024)
Tuesday (26th March, 2024)
Wednesday (27th March, 2024)
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), over the past forty-eight (48) hours, a weak surface trough would have caused some convergence, and together with some moisture advection, produced a few showers in varying areas. The ridging pattern, together with a long and straight fetch across the Equatorial Atlantic, the Lesser Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago, continue to be the dominant feature.
Conditions are likely to be breezy, or windy at times, in some areas. Surface wind speeds are expected to be steady and generally moderate. The near-surface wind speeds (2,000 ft to approx. 8,000 ft) are expected to be moderate to strong, during this outlook period. Mostly fair, sunny, breezy and at times windy conditions, are expected across Trinidad and Tobago for this outlook period. Intermittent patches of moisture advection, together with some surface convergence, or a weak perturbation, interacting with the local topography, is likely to produce brief, light or moderate showers over varying areas, with a chance for an isolated heavy shower to occur, mainly near hilly areas. On the synoptic scale, no major precipitation-causing event or significant rainfall accumulation is predicted for Trinidad and Tobago and the Lesser Antilles, but on Thursday (21st March, 2024) to Friday (22nd March, 2024), a passing frontal system to the North and Northeast, could induce a weak perturbation, which is likely to result in a relative increase in moisture convergence over the area. There is the possibility for an isolated, moderate or heavy shower to develop, especially near hilly areas. The winds are likely to be breezy and windy at times, especially in elevated areas and in the vicinity of any shower that might occur. Seas in the open waters and near-shore areas, East of Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands, will probably become choppy at times due to the steady surface winds across the Equatorial Atlantic. The Met Office notes that Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere is expected to be mild, becoming moderate at times during this outlook period. Bush and brush fires, together with the possibility for landfill and forest fires, will likely contribute to the reduction in the air quality. 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: Tuesday (19th March, 2024)
Wednesday (20th March, 2024)
Thursday (21st March, 2024)
Friday (22nd March, 2024)
