THE OFFICIAL TROPICAL WEATHER THREAD 2025

[Les Bain]

Little strangeness in Piarco ATM. It's humid and there's an occasional blast of heat coming with the breeze.

Wish we had a live weather cam at the Toco lighthouse to follow the chit when it starts.

Yes like it made a warble west towards us

Tobago looking like it getting hurricane force

Ent you was de man saying "not to worry, not to worry?"

That is why I posted the Barbados report from early this morning.

All we can do now is pray for the best. But we really need the rain.

[redmanjp]

It's not just a movement towards us that put us under increased risk but the fact that the system size has increased and the storm force winds are extending further from the centre

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115
miles (185 km).

As of now yes.
Exams are more or less finished so no biggie of the kiddies stay home. Mine is.

[j.o.e]

We’ve been here before guys. Mild rain tomorrow.

[DMan7]

We're lucky to be on the very edge of the South American continent. We will always get just the edges of all these storms and hurricanes. God is truly a Trini.

With the rapid climate change occurring, that may not be "always" soon enough, because here we are with this new record.

Hurricane wind speeds receive the most attention, but it's about the absorbed ocean energy that is being released in a short period by that weather engine. Significantly more energy in a hurricane is released as rainfall through the latent energy of water droplet condensation, not the kinetic energy from wind.

NOAA calculations:https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd-faq/#hurricane-energy-production

Trinidad is definitely feeling the effects of the hurricanes due to a warmer ocean.

Wait. You mean to tell me that Tobago is under a hurricane warning and the MoE wants the children to go to school?

Oh, I forgot, it is the Rowley administration. The same Rowley when he was in opposition lambasted Kamla for closing schools when a hurricane was supposed to hit us. God showed his Trinbagonian passport at the time and nothing happened.

Rowley went off on Kamla for closing schools.

The lives of the school children in Tobago are not important. Carry on.

[DMan7]

The press conference said the MOE will make a decision this evening on the closure of schools.

[paid_influencer]

the moe general position is to use your common sense. if you in a flood-prone area, if your child have to travel, if you know teachers might not come out, etc., use your judgement. the moe last time got flack for cancelling school island-wide when plenty areas and schools were unaffected by the bad weather.

as hororable said school kinda already finish for the semester

given this is a cat 4 hurricane the moe should have put out a notice early

or better yet as part of a whole-of-government notice or publicized plan

predictability of response, certainty of process, etc, from the state being the end goal

If you are waiting for Rowley to tell you how to secure your children, then you have failed as a parent. Then again, being senile, you can't really think for yourself.

You totally missed the point. But that is expected.
