![]() ![]() G LANCING-BLOW CME POSSIBLE TODAY: NOAA forecasters say that a CME might pass near Earth (or maybe deliver a glancing blow) today, May 26th. ![]() Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays. Credit: SDO/HMIĬosmic Rays Solar Cycle 25 is intensifying, and this is reflected in the number of cosmic rays entering Earth's atmosphere. These are made available on the TTMS website at, on our social media platforms and weather App.Sunspot AR3311 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. Visit our website for daily weather forecasts updates, which are available on a scheduled basis at 6 am, 10 am, and 4 pm and for the seasonal outlook which is updated monthly. The public, relevant agencies and ministries are advised to adopt measures to mitigate the potential impacts of the Wet Season. The TTMS wishes to reassure 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. Please be reminded that the Atlantic Hurricane Season officially starts from 1 st June extending until 30 th November and falls within Trinidad and Tobago’s wet season. Given this, the 2023 wet season outlook for Trinidad and Tobago expects near normal to slightly wetter conditions for the first half of the season, while for the second half, near normal to slightly drier conditions are forecast.Ĭlimatologically, T&T’s wet season can extend into December before completely transitioning into dry season in January. ![]() The next Tropical Wave that the TTMS is tracking, is forecast to pass early next week.Ĭurrently the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions remain neutral however, a transition to El Niño conditions is likely to occur within the next two months. ![]() With the passage of this Tropical Wave, the ITCZ which is currently south of 10N, is expected to gradually migrate northward over the weekend, increasing the potential for showers and isolated thunderstorms across T&T. Across both islands, there is a medium chance (60%) of heavy showers and/or thunderstorms with accompanying gusty winds. As the day progresses, this TW will continue to affect T&T, with the most enhanced weather remaining over eastern offshore areas. This TW is currently affecting T&T, and over the last several hours, parts of both islands have recorded measurable rainfall accumulations, thus signaling the official start of the 2023 Wet Season for Trinidad and Tobago.įor today, Friday 26 th May, 2023, as at 2pm, Piarco measured 0.1mm of rainfall, with higher accumulations recorded in other areas. The TTMS has been monitoring a Tropical Wave (TW), which moved off the west coast of Africa and slowly traversed the Tropical Atlantic over the last ten (10) days. The official start to our wet season is marked by measurable rainfall (≥0.1mm) 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. The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) is officially declaring the start of the 2023 Wet Season for Trinidad and Tobago (T&T).
