Sweltering heat continues across Trinidad and Tobago, with both islands recording their hottest temperatures for 2023 yesterday.
According to data from the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), Piarco recorded a maximum high temperature of 33.4°C, the highest for the year, while at Crown Point, a maximum high of 32.4°C was recorded, which tied the maximum high on August 5 for the highest temperature at the site for the year.
T&T has entered the secondary peak of the local heat season, which runs from March through October, with this peak beginning in August through October. Light winds, relatively high moisture, and high-pressure systems between tropical waves and cyclones allow warmer temperatures to develop and persist across the country during this time of year.
This year, with record high temperatures across the Atlantic Ocean, according to the TTMS, “above normal sea-surface temperatures generally promote warmer trade winds that blow over the islands.” Sea surface temperatures near T&T are above normal, between 29°C and 30°C. The result—weak easterly to southeasterly winds, intense sunshine, high relative humidity, and urbanised areas—lead to hot days where maximum temperatures exceed 34°C in Trinidad and 33°C in Tobago, particularly in cities.
Yesterday, temperatures across the country ranged from 32°C to 36°C, but how hot it felt outside, known as the heat index, was much higher. According to data from automated and personal weather stations, heat indices across both islands reached levels that are considered dangerous, between 41°C and 51°C.
More hot temperatures are forecast today, with a tropical wave forecast to produce cloudiness, showers, and isolated thunderstorms by tomorrow into Thursday, keeping maximum high temperatures down compared to the past week.
