The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) is officially declaring the start of the 2022 Wet Season for Trinidad and Tobago. In a statement on Monday (16th May 2022), the TTMS said the official start to the Wet Season is marked by measurable rainfall 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.
According to the TTMS, it has been monitoring a Tropical Wave that moved across Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday (15th May 2022) into Monday (16th May 2022) and produced measurable rainfall over several areas, thus signaling the official start of the 2022 Wet Season for Trinidad and Tobago. Although this Tropical Wave is the fourth wave that the TTMS has been tracking that moved off the West coast of Africa and traversed the Tropical Atlantic, it is the first one to affect Trinidad and Tobago. The Met Office notes that as at 8am on Monday (16th May 2022), the month of May has yielded rainfall totals of 28.5mm, which amounts to 23% of the average total rainfall of 124mm for May. The remainder of the month is likely to continue with below-average rainfall across most areas. The TTMS is reassuring the national community, that in “keeping with our mandate, we continue to closely monitor weather conditions in and around Trinidad and Tobago and will continue to advise the general public in a timely manner, about impending adverse weather conditions which are likely to affect our islands. The public, relevant agencies and Ministries are advised to adopt measures to mitigate the potential impacts of the Wet Season.” We are a small operation.
