Met Office Issues Official Statement On ‘Very Active’ Tropical Wave In Central Tropical Atlantic
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) said it has been monitoring an area of low pressure associated with an active Tropical Wave located in the Central Tropical Atlantic, approximately 2,300 Km East of the Southern Windward Islands.
At this time, the system has a low (10% - 30%) chance of developing into a Tropical Cyclone over the next two (2) to seven (7) days. The Wave is moving Westward at approximately 24 Km/h - 32 Km/h and is expected to pass over the Southern Windward Islands later this weekend.
Regardless of development, this Wave will bring increased rainfall activity across portions of the Southern Windwards this weekend.
Latest analyses by the TTMS indicate that this system is forecast to move across Trinidad and Tobago as a very active Tropical Wave. Activity ahead of the Wave is expected to bring showers and thunderstorms from late Saturday (18th October, 2025), with periods of heavy rainfall likely to continue into Monday (20th October, 2025), as the Wave moves across our area.
