The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) said in a statement this afternoon (Monday 25th April 2022) that an induced low-level trough over Trinidad and Tobago due to a shear-line from a low pressure system in the middle of the Atlantic, is causing the atmosphere to be unstable, especially after much daytime heating.
The Met Office notes that accompanying this, has been an increase in moisture in the atmosphere due to Northward migration of moisture from Northern South America into the vicinity of Trinidad and Tobago. This has led to the development of Thunderstorms and moderate to heavy showers in some locations after Midday. The Met Office says this pattern is likely to continue over the next two (2) to three (3) days, but some days are likely to be more unstable than others. As a result, the chance of isolated Thunderstorm activity over Trinidad and Tobago, is likely to continue. Some relief from the rainfall can occur by Friday (29th April 2022), when plumes of Saharan dust is likely to dominate. According to the Met Office, from its Rainfall Outlook for April, issued in March, it indicated that the month was likely to receive near-normal rainfall. The Met Office added that prior to today’s rainfall, April was relatively dry, with cumulative rainfall at 8am on Monday (25th April 2022) being a meagre 25.4 mm, just 43.4% of the average total (58.8 mm) for April. The rainfall currently being observed will likely lead to the forecast of near-normal totals being achieved. This is a developing story - refresh this page for updates. We are a small operation.
