Met Service Indicates Low Pressure To Affect TT From April 16th To 20th

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service is advising of an approaching low pressure system, which should begin to affect the country from April 16-20.

It says there is also a chance for an isolated heavy shower to develop, favouring hilly areas.

The Met Office said cloudy periods with light to moderate showers or even isolated heavy showers may occur.

In an update the Met Office said:

“A developing low pressure area, and associated frontal system, to the northeast of the Lesser Antilles will continue to produce perturbations (troughs) across the Leeward Islands. This is expected to bring some partly cloudy to cloudy periods with light or moderate showers in varying areas, and the chance of an isolated heavy shower or thunderstorm, over the leeward islands, during this outlook period.

“Although Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands will be in a generally ridging pattern, during Tuesday (16th April 2024) into Thursday (18th April 2024), low level convergence and patches of moisture advection, together with interactions with local topographies and daytime land heating, are likely to interrupt the sunshine at times, to produce a few light or moderate showers over varying areas.”
