I will be visiting the island the last week in November / first week in December. will the wet weather have passed by that time. what conditions can i expect? Thanks alan

Late November / early December is still "rainy season", but the worst should be over by then.
The season of tropical waves with heavy rainfall for hours is gradually coming to an end.
Enjoy your holidays !

Any chance of decent weather Oct 31st to November 14th, Andy?

There is decent weather right now
It is hard to predict how the weather will be later this months.
All depends if we still get tropical waves coming across the atlantic ocean
or the ITCZ coming up from south with plenty of moisture.
November usually gets a good share of rainfall, it sometimes is the
rainiest month of the season.
But there is always sun in between and some good tropical showers should
not spoil your vacation in Tobago.

Well, a sh*te day underwater is better than a good day in the office anyway! Just hope it doesnt rain every day Andy. Need to soak up the sun as well as getting wet...

We hardly ever get rain for days in a row. There is always some hot sun in between
and you should still be equipped with your sun block when you are outside.
Even in November

Hi, about sun protections...

In the 90´s I use to find good ones for me in Tobago, but since some 5-6 years I always bring it with med from home, to be sure that I have something which work well for me. Last winter I mostly did see strong sun blocking in the shops and sun oil, no "normally" sun protection.

Sun blocking protect you from getting burnt if one use it all over, but it doesn´t give you a good tan which also protect you. And they are mostly very strong ones, so you will come down white and go back white, only verry little tan, sometimes even burnt when one did forget a small area, I´ve seen such things!

So, if you have a specific type of sun protection at home, buy some with you!

We were in Tobago in November last year and are going back in 3 weeks. Last year we had 2 rainy days during the 2 weeks we spent there. Otherwise there were some quick showers, refreshing ones , and once they were gone you couldn't even tell it had rained! I hope this year we'll be just as lucky!

How does the weather now look like? We are coming in the middle of November. I hope the weather will be sunny until then.
