The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has said Monday's bad weather does not indicate the onset of the rainy season.

In a post on social media on Monday, the Met Office said the showers and thunderstorms on Monday afternoon were due to many variables in the atmosphere, including an increase in instability and moisture.

It said Monday’s forecast (issued on both Sunday afternoon and Monday morning) included showers and the chance of an isolated heavy shower or thunderstorm with the possibility of accompanying gusty winds and street flooding.

The Met Office said it had received many reports of concern from members of the public about the start of the rainy season.

But it said, “The weather that we are experiencing is NOT due to the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone – which is a rainy season feature. While this has brought a change in the recent weather pattern, it does not indicate the onset of the rainy season. The TTMS will continue to monitor the weather on a 24/7 basis and inform the public of weather developments in a reliable and responsible manner.”

The Met Office asked people please to continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information it issues. The public forecast is updated daily at 6am, 10am and 4pm at https://www.metoffice.gov.tt/.

I like the style of this mora guy. get the info out if he wrong he wrong but talk first sort it out after. them other weather forecasters very conservative but I would say it is better to have both- the conservative viewpoints and the more free talking forecasters and people smart enough to sort it out between them.

good to see mora getting advertisers and doing videos etc

that 1.7mm certainly wasn't measured in POS or east west corridor- if it was it might have been 10mm - having 1 single location for the whole island doesn't take isolated showers into consideration- so if no rain fall in piarco but POS get flood out the record would show that no rain fall.
