The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has officially declared the start of the 2026 wet season in Trinidad and Tobago, following measurable rainfall associated with the first tropical wave of the year.

In a statement issued yesterday, the TTMS said the wet season officially began on Tuesday after rainfall linked to a weak tropical wave produced measurable showers across parts of the country.

The tropical wave, which the TTMS had been monitoring since it moved off the west coast of Africa on April 30, brought 2.1 millimetres of rainfall at Piarco and 2.5 millimetres at Charlotteville.
