Met Office: An Adverse Weather Alert Yellow Level Is Now In Effect

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service says a combination of features, including the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone and low – level troughs, is expected to affect the region.

Periods of rain and/or showers of varying intensities are expected, with a medium to high chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms that can produce intense rainfall in excess of 50mm.

Street/flash flooding and localized ponding are also likely in heavy downpours.

Landslides/landslips are also possible in susceptible areas, as the land is already saturated.

Gusty winds in excess of 55 km/h may be experienced and seas can become agitated at times in sheltered areas.

Persons are advised to monitor weather conditions and river levels.
