THE Meteorological Service said citizens can expect near-normal to above normal rainfall and warm temperatures for December and the 2026 dry season. It said there is moderate flood potential for December.

Speaking during the service’s 2026 dry season – 19th national climate outlook forum at the TT Civil Aviation Authority (TTCAA) Training Centre, Caroni North Bank Road, Piarco, on December 9, acting chief climatologist Kaidar Kissoon said a weak La Niña developed in October and is expected to positively influence rainfall occurrences over TT during the first half of the dry season (January-March).

He said warm sea surface temperatures (SST) exist east of TT and into the tropical Atlantic ocean and is expected to provide the moisture for cloud development during the dry season months (January-May).
