The Trinidad & Tobago Meteorological Service has advised that T&T is now under a Meteorological Drought Warning. This type of Drought is defined in terms of the magnitude of a precipitation shortfall and the duration of this shortfall event.
The 3-month Dry Spell/Drought Outlook for the period ending March 2019 shows the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) ranging between -1.2 to -2.0, which suggest the current Dry Spell is likely to continue. Impactful drying is therefore likely to persist up to the end of March 2019.
In its “Dry/Wet Spell Monitor and Outlook by End of March 2019,” the Met Office highlighted the fact that December 2018 was the 2nd driest December recorded at Piarco in 73 years and at Crown Point it was the 6th driest December on record in 50 years.
It also stated that January 2019 was the 5th driest January recorded at Piarco in 73 years and at Crown Point it was the driest January on record in 50 years.
