Adverse Weather Alert For TT From Thursday 8AM To Friday 2PM

An Adverse Weather Alert Yellow Level is in effect from 8am Thursday to 2pm Friday.

The Met Service says thunderstorms are 60-80% likely to occur, favouring Tobago and Northern parts of Trinidad on Thursday, followed by extended periods of showers and/or persistent rainfall which can affect both islands on both Thursday and Friday.

It says winds can gust in excess of 55km/h in heavy showers and thunderstorms.

These thunderstorms can produce intense rainfall of over 25mm. Street and/or flash flooding are possible in areas so prone, causing minor traffic disruptions.

Electrical discharges are also very likely as well.

This is due to a significant increase in moisture, instability and convergence behind the axis of a Tropical Wave, which is also being followed by an increase of low level windspeed.

Citizens are urged to secure loose outdoor objects.
