Summary:
Expected Weather for Second Dekad (11th– 20th) of October 2019 and Likely Impact on Agriculture.

The forecasted ten-day period rainfall totals to range between 100.0 mm and 120.0 mm in Trinidad and Tobago. The average daily temperatures across Trinidad and Tobago are likely to range between 26.4 0C and 28.5 0C. Expect the highest maximum temperature over the first dekad to peak near 34.3 oC in Trinidad, while the lowest night to early morning minimum temperature could fall below 22.6 0C.
