Trinidad's Topography
Trinidad and her tiny sister island of Tobago lie off the Venezuelan coast. Along the north of Trinidad runs the Northern Range of mountains, looming over the country's capital, Port of Spain. South of Port of Spain on the west coast the terrain is low, and the Caroni Swamps contain a magnificent bird sanctuary largely inhabited by the scarlet ibis. On the north and east coasts lie beautiful beaches. Central Trinidad is flat and largely given over to agriculture.
Trinidad's weather year around
Trinidad and Tobago enjoys tropical weather with average year-round temperatures ranging from the low 70s to the high 80s, with the mean average temperature around 86°F. Trade winds keep the climate pleasant without the need for air-conditioning. Winter nights can actually get a bit cool. The dry season is from November to May and the rainy season runs throughout summer and beyond. A great benefit of TandT's extreme southern Caribbean location is that it is out of the traditional tropical storm belt, so the threat of a hurricane is minor.
