Adverse Weather Alert in effect until 6pm this evening

An Adverse Weather Alert is in effect for both Trinidad and Tobago until 6pm this evening, Monday 5th August, 2024.

The alert went into effect on Sunday night at 11pm.

According to the TT Meteorological Service (TTMS), there is a high (80%) chance of thunderstorm activity and moderate to heavy showers, beginning with Tobago and gradually spreading across to Trinidad from Sunday through to Monday, due to the passage of a tropical wave, which is also modulating the ITCZ.

Likely impacts include gusty winds in excess of 55 km/h which can lead to fallen trees, displace unsecured items and agitate seas. Street/flash flooding and localized ponding can also occur as a result of this activity.

Instructions: Do not wade or drive through flood waters. Secure loose outdoor items and livestock. Persons are advised to monitor weather conditions.
