Met Office Issues Adverse Weather Alert #2 – YELLOW LEVEL

The Met Office has issued an Adverse Weather Alert #2 – YELLOW LEVEL

It says periods of moderate to heavy showers accompanied by gusty winds up to 55 km/h have been observed for the majority of the day thus far over Trinidad. There is still the high (70%) potential of gusts in excess of 55 km/h over the period.

Such wind gusts may be brief but are capable of displacing unsecured roofs and loose outdoor objects and can even topple over unhealthy trees. Heavy downpours can lead to street flooding.

While Trinidad is expected to experience the majority of the rainfall activity and associated impacts, there is still the likelihood of Tobago experiencing isolated strong gusts in the vicinity of showers.
