The climate of Trinidad (Trinidad and Trinidad)
Trinidad is the largest island of Trinidad and Tobago and is situated
only 11 kilometers from the coast of Venezuela. The Gulf of Paria
separates the two countries. The capital of both the island and the
country is Port of Spain. The island was discovered by Christopher
Columbus at the end of the 15th century and was under the rule of
several different countries until it became a Republic together with
Tobago in 1976. The main sources of income are tourism and fossil
fuels. Trinidad has a tropical monsoon climate with a wet and a
relatively dry period. The driest months of the year are February,
March and April. 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). During the summer
humidity figures are high. The temperature of the sea water is
pleasant all year round. During the second part of the year there is a
risk of tropical storms and hurricanes.

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:
