Tropical Weather Alert: Tobago Faces 40‑60% Thunderstorm Chance, Possible Flash Floods, Meteorologist Warns

On Tuesday, 15 September 2026, Meteorologist Crystol Caesar released a weather outlook for Trinidad, Tobago and the Windward Islands. The day began with fair skies that turned hazy, turning partly cloudy by late morning and bringing a few scattered showers.

Thunderstorm activity is expected to be isolated, with a 40‑60% chance over Tobago. Residents should be prepared for brief, intense bursts of rain that could produce localized flooding.

As evening approaches, cloud cover will increase over the Windward Islands. Gusty winds and heavy downpours could trigger street and flash flooding, so motorists and pedestrians should exercise caution.

A mild to moderate layer of Saharan dust is drifting across the region. People with respiratory or heart conditions are urged to take extra precautions and stay indoors if symptoms flare.

The Leeward Islands will remain mostly sunny and breezy, though an isolated shower is forecast. Overnight, partly cloudy skies will bring a risk of a heavier shower or thunderstorm, so evening travelers should stay alert.

Last night’s minimum temperatures were 25.3 °C at Piacco and 25.8 °C at Crown Point, with forecast highs of 33 °C and 32 °C respectively. The information comes from the MetOffice Trinidad and Tobago.
