The official tropical weather thread 2020

[maj. tom]

I am actually dreading this rainy season. The first true rains will bring flash floods to a lot of the country, like desert rains.
And I think this hurricane season will be vicious. The ocean is just storing all this heat and will release it in the ITCZ like last year. I hope measures were put in place during this time, but there is nothing much anyone can do to avoid the floods of the sheer volume of rain that fell in those few days in October last year.

Last year I spoke with a lot of people in St Helena after the October flooding (having gone with several different groups offering relief). The St Helena ppl were all unanimous in opinion that Caroni didn't top its banks in the vicinity of St Helena. They all said the water that flooded them came from El Carmen via the drains and road way.

Can't say the rain has been very consistent in its duration. Falls very intense but usually only for a 10 - 15 min interval. Been so in Tunapuna since yesterday.

No rain by me yet.

A Tropical wave is expected to affect Trinidad and Tobago over the next few days.

This according to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Services.

The Met Office, in a Facebook post on Sunday said an increase in showers can be expected on Tuesday and Wednesday, due to the passage of the Tropical wave.

“Monday is expected to be hot and sunny for the most part, however, an increase in showers is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday as a Tropical wave is set to affect T&T. Currently, Wednesday is expected to be the worst of the three days.”

It added that it will be keeping a close eye on the Tropical wave.
