The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has indicated that there is now evidence that T&T and the region has transitioned to a drier state, which means we are officially in the Dry Season. The Met Office expects February and March 2020 to be the driest months. There may also be a few short Hot Spells between March to May.
According to the Met Office: A number of climatic features that are used to indicate the onset of the Dry Season is present. These include a strengthened North Atlantic Sub-Tropical High-pressure system of great vertical depth located further east; a strengthening trade wind inversion-a stable layer which inhibits the vertical growth of rain clouds; along with the prevalence of relative strong low-level north-easterly trade-winds and upper-level westerly winds over the region. Together, these features have a stabilizing effect.
A near normal Dry Season is forecast, with near average rainfall totals during January through March. Slightly wetter than average conditions are expected for April through May. According to the Met Office, 2019 was the third driest year on record since 1946 when observations first began at Piarco. Meanwhile, the 2019 Wet Season didn’t turn out to be so wet - it was the ninth driest on record.
