Today: Sunny, 60% Chance For Heavy Showers — Mild Saharan Dust; 33°C Max

By —

According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), patches of showers today (Friday 13th November, 2026) will likely interrupt sunshine at times, along with the medium (60%) chance of isolated heavy showers or thunderstorm activity. These spells of showers will likely persist over a few areas during the night.

Street flooding and gusty winds are likely in the event of heavy downpours.

The Met Office notes that a relatively mild concentration of Saharan dust is currently present in the atmosphere. A gradual increase is expected overnight.

The forecast maximum temperature today will be 33°C at Piarco in Trinidad and 32°C at Crown Point in Tobago. 

Seas are moderate with waves near 2m in open waters and below 1m in sheltered areas. 

Recommendations for outdoor activities today: 

Persons planning to spend time outdoors today should carry an umbrella or raincoat and be prepared for intermittent showers, some of which may become heavy and thundery. Exercise caution when travelling, as heavy downpours could result in street flooding, reduced visibility and gusty winds. With temperatures reaching 33°C in Trinidad and 32°C in Tobago, stay hydrated, wear lightweight clothing and take breaks in shaded or cool areas. Those sensitive to airborne particles should also take precautions, as mild Saharan dust is present and is expected to increase overnight. Beachgoers and small-craft operators should exercise caution, as seas are moderate, with waves reaching near 2m in open waters.

You were so much more than just my boyfriend. You were my home, my peace, my best friend and the love of my life. You were the most loving, goofiest soul, always pretending to be this big bad bully when, in reality, you were the biggest baby. You matched my craziness in ways nobody else ever could and together we made the most random, unforgettable memories. I’ll miss your tight hugs, endless kisses, painful bites, your laugh and all the things that made you so unapologetically you.” She continued, “I never imagined that I would have to learn how to live in a world where I couldn’t call you, hug you or annoy you.
