The Trinidad and Tobago Meterological Service has officially declared the start of the 2020 Rainy Season following measurable rainfall from the passage of a Tropical Wave on Saturday 30th May 2020. Rainfall activity associated with the passage of a Tropical Wave or the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), whichever is first, signals the start of the local Rainy Season each year since these features will be the mainstay for the next six (6) months in yielding rainfall. An overall above-normal Wet Season is forecasted. The start of the Wet Season, June to August, is likely to receive more rainfall than usual. Concern for flooding is elevated since the period June to August is usually the wettest months of the Season. The months September to November are likely to receive normal rainfall amounts with the potential for flooding still being elevated. The Wet Season usually begins in May, as seen in past dates below. Following the second driest April on record for Trinidad, the onset of the 2020 Wet Season was eagerly awaited by many. The Hurricane Season extends from 1st June to 30th November 2020. The Met Office is estimating that for our area of interest there will most likely be six (6) named Storms from a possible range of four (4) to eight (8). Two (2) of these are most likely to become Hurricanes in our area of interest from a range of one (1) to three (3).
