According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), the first half of the 2023 Wet Season, June-July-August, is most likely to be as wet as usual with pockets of wetter than usual areas, especially in Western Trinidad, while the rest of the Season is likely to be wet as usual with drier than usual pockets developing over Trinidad. The Met Office notes that the potential for flooding is high.
Normal to below-normal number of heavy and extremely heavy rainfall days, 3-day and 5-day wet spells are likely. Flood potential is high for known flood-prone areas and normal for emerging flood-prone areas. Citizens are urged to accelerate preparations. The Met Office states that both day and night temperatures are expected to be warmer than average over Western Trinidad and Tobago. Normal to above-normal hot days (maximum temperatures ≥ 34°C) and one (1) to four (4) short-duration hot spells (5 or more consecutive hot days) and heat surges (3 consecutive hot days) are likely. Cities and urban areas are likely to get the most intense heat. An outlook with increased chances for wet as-usual conditions still suggests:

The Met Office officially declared the start of the 2023 Wet Season for Trinidad and Tobago on Friday (26th May 2023). Our Wet Season is marked by measurable rainfall (≥ 0.1mm) produced by a Tropical Wave and/or the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), both of which are the main weather-producing features of Trinidad and Tobago's Wet Season. Meanwhile, the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season is fast approaching and set to begin on 1st June 2023. The Met Office is reminding citizens that now is a good time to review your emergency plans. Do not wait until an Alert, Watch or Warning is issued to get prepared. [Source: TTMS] We are a small operation.
