Trinidad and Tobago 7:50pm Hi Good Night, Today was a very wet day in Trinidad. It shows that the hurricane season is here upon us once again with the first tropical wave. We had cloudy conditions through out the entire day with the isolated shower. Looking at the forecast for the next few days we see another tropical wave is fast approaching. Trust that everyone is safe and sound and ready to enjoy this cool night. ^_^ Michael Abouhamad

Official Statement from the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Office: 2013 Rainy Season is here
The
arrival of the first rain-producing Tropical Wave for 2013 last night
(Sunday, 19 May, 2013) heralds the beginning of the 2013 rainy season.
Given our weather-related history it has occurred just on time. This
signals for Trinidad and Tobago a consistent intervention of Tropical
Waves and the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) into our weather
over the next seven (7) months. In essence, expect to see more episodes
of rain in the coming months than the daily bouts of sunshine we have
been experiencing.
Preliminary analysis indicates this
year's rainy season should be very productive - more so than is usual.
Over the years, the months of June, July and August have been coincident
with the period our country has received the most amount of rainfall
with July in particular standing above the others. There is no reason to
believe that the 2013 rainy season will play out otherwise. At
present, the quick succession of Tropical Waves is not firmly
established. So, there may be a reprieve following the passage of this
wave. The stay, however, will be short-lived especially with the
expected start of the Tropical Atlantic Hurricane Season on 01 June,
2013. This year the season is forecast to be a very active one with the
formation of 18 named Storms, 9 Hurricanes and 4 Major Hurricanes
(Categories 3 and above). Historically, the averages for named Storms,
Hurricanes and Major Hurricanes are 12, 7 and 2 respectively. Therefore, the overall picture weather-wise calls for a prepared public. The
Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service will continue to do its part
in terms of early warning. In this regard, pay attention to the daily
weather forecasts and updates. These are released 6:00am, 10:00am,
3:00pm and 6:00pm. Each forecast updates the previous. For cases of expected moderate to severe weather impacts, Information or Severe Weather Bulletins will be released accordingly. Riverine
Flood Bulletins will be issued whenever river levels, given current and
expected rainfall, threaten to defeat maximum carrying capacities. Finally,
Tropical Storm/Hurricane Watch/Warnings will be issued whenever the
effects of these systems are expected to be felt by this country in
36/48 hours. Enjoy your day all Katy |

- Impact 16 - 24 hrs

2013 - 05 - 17th. Fri.
T'dad & T'bgo, W.I. People of Paradise, What seems to be the first potential to become a depression after exiting the Caribbean Basin, should affect the islands south of St. Lucia as early as this morning. Definitely in 16 - 24 hrs. some hazardous weather that has the potential to last 3 days will impact the Lesser Antilles.
One can note that the word 'Hazard' or 'Hazardous', does not affect you if, even after impact, you don't allow 'it' to affect you! One can do this by praying, planning, preparing and procuring the necessities for survival. An on-going recurrence, even on a normal day (without paranoia).
By the way, this leads me to offer that mangoes are the 'best' colon cleansers and that fruit salad with mangoes will help even a chocolate lover lose weight. (tee hee).(And talk about clear skin!!).
A little birdie tells me we'll all be writing again soon, ....
God Bless

2013 - 05 - 08th. Wed.
Petit Val'y, D'go Martin, T'dad & T'bgo, W.I. Happy Mother's Day (in advance), People of Paradise,
We would like to thank, Almighty God, that when the first system to pull north of the equator and the ITCZ skirted the north coast of South America, all T'dad & T'bgo had were isolated drizzles. Overcast and even white-out but Localized drizzles.
The rest, after breaking wind-shear off Colombia is out of our purview. But we will add three comments. Our closeness to Belize and its concerns can be under-played as Trinidadians (at UWI / Cricket / Sports / Dialect and Accent / Closeness to Spanish-speaking neighbours / etc.) Not to mention those in oil and industrial-training.
Sympathy to our Dutch neighbours who experienced a violent loss. Wind-shear has ramped up. Early or not it is very welcome. T'dad & T'bgo will do well to observe the next system two to three days away. As it is more south than the first one.
God bless |

Friday 03rd. May 2013
Petit Valley, Diego Martin, T'dad & T'bgo, W.I. Good Day, Good Night, Good everything, People of Paradise,
The Poui and Flambouyant have spread their leaves and flowers and seed in the far and wide buttress pattern along the soils with its first sprinkling of rain. Hard to the touch but softened enough to allow immersion, decay and growth, this Earth will provide Food for the bird and beast, friend and foe, victor and vanquished. Pest and Predator will vie for the crown, which this inert earth will timelessly witness.
 But back to the tropical conditions right now, .... We can expect rain soon. More north this time than last time. And sad to say for those not prepared, there seems to be a 35 % chance the first Tropical Wave to reach the entire Caribbean will be here in 07 days.
God bless |
