Although commonly considered part of the Caribbean region, the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago falls into two very different zoogeographical zones.
Tobago, the smaller island to the north, is indeed typically Caribbean, with a fairly limited fauna and flora, similar to other islands in the Lesser Antilles such as Grenada, Barbados and St Lucia. Trinidad, which lies much closer to the coast of Venezuela than it does to Tobago, has a more wide-ranging list of species, including many also found in the rest of South America.
Climatically, however, both islands are fairly similar. Conditions are warm all year round, with virtually no variation in daytime or night-time temperatures. Rainfall, however, does vary: the dry season runs from January to May, and the wet season from June to December. Both islands are cooled by the prevailing north-easterly trade winds, which make the climate more comfortable than the raw temperatures might suggest.
