The climate of Tobago (Trinidad and Tobago)
Tobago is the smaller island part of Trinidad and Tobago. The capital
of Tobago is Scarborough. The entire island has a population of about
55,000 complemented by the many tourists that visit the island. Most
tourists travel here because of the beautiful scenery and the many
diving spots. Tobago Rainforest is one of the oldest protected forests
in the world. Because of this a large variety in plant and animal life
can be found here. Off the coast of Tobago a Bird sanctuary can be
found on the island of Small Tobago; more than 200 bird species live
here. Just like Trinidad Tobago has a tropical monsoon climate with a
distinct wet and a distinct dry period. Because of the altitude the
southwestern part of Tobago has higher precipitation figures than the
rest of the island. During the rainy period humidity figures may rise.
However, an ever blowing sea breeze offers some cooling. During the
second part of the year there is a risk of tropical storms and
hurricanes. Daytime temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius (86.0
degrees Fahrenheit) all year round. Night time temperatures are about
20 degrees Celsius (68.0 degrees Fahrenheit).

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
