The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) is forecasting an above-average 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
While systems may form within the TTMS area of interest, it only takes one storm to directly impact the country for it to be an active hurricane season.
Since 2013, the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has been issuing seasonal forecasts for Trinidad and Tobago’s area of interest (AOI) for tropical cyclone activity.
The Met Office has defined T&T’s AOI as south of 15°N latitude, between the eastern Caribbean and the west coast of Africa, within the north Atlantic Ocean.
According to the Met Office, only tropical cyclones forming in this area have been known to directly threaten Trinidad and Tobago.
he North Atlantic Hurricane Season officially runs between June 1st through November 30th, but out-of-season systems have formed in the past, like January last year.
Based on the 1991-2020 climatological average, four named storms formed in this area, one of which generally become a hurricane.
