Pack light clothes, sunscreen and insect repellent: Port of Spain is 31–33°C all year. January to May is the dry season and includes Carnival; June to December is wetter, with rain on 15–19 days a month.
Going for Carnival? Bring old clothes and shoes for J'ouvert, because they won't come back clean. An insulated bottle helps on long hot days, and if you're visiting family, a luggage scale keeps the return bag under 23 kg. Good news on plugs: Trinidad uses the same ones as Canada.
Hurricane season runs June to November, although Trinidad is south of the usual hurricane track. Trinidad uses the same plugs as Canada at 115 V, so you don't need an adapter.
