Trinidad and Tobago has been placed under a Yellow-Level Hot Spell Alert as temperatures are expected to climb over the coming weeks, with “feels-like” temperatures potentially reaching as high as 44°C in some areas. The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) advises that the alert takes effect from 2 pm today and remains in place until 4 pm on October 31. It is the first Hot Spell Alert issued by the Service for 2026.
The alert covers both Trinidad and Tobago and carries a “monitor” response under the Yellow-Level status.
A hot spell does not simply mean one unusually hot afternoon. The TTMS defines it as at least five consecutive days when maximum temperatures reach or exceed 34°C in Trinidad and 33°C in Tobago.
