I report the weather, the climate crisis, and the science underneath both.
Where the science-to-public translation began.
Before the newsroom, there was the forecast. Kalain founded the Trinidad and Tobago Weather Center in 2014 to turn raw atmospheric science into clear, timely, plain-language guidance the public could actually use — through storms, floods, and everyday planning. Learning to make the science matter to ordinary people became the foundation for everything that followed in his journalism.
