Trinidad and To­ba­go is not fac­ing an im­me­di­ate drought, but dri­er con­di­tions could de­vel­op lat­er this year, ac­cord­ing to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice (TTMS).

In its lat­est out­look, is­sued April 10, the TTMS said typ­i­cal dry sea­son con­di­tions are ex­pect­ed through June 2026, with “lit­tle to no con­cern for agri­cul­tur­al drought” in the short term.

Da­ta from Jan­u­ary to March show most­ly nor­mal dry­ness lev­els across both is­lands, al­though bor­der­line dry con­di­tions were ob­served in parts of cen­tral Trinidad, par­tic­u­lar­ly around Pi­ar­co. To­ba­go, by con­trast, has ex­pe­ri­enced no sig­nif­i­cant dry­ness con­cerns, sup­port­ed by near-nor­mal rain­fall pat­terns.
