An adverse weather alert, yellow level, is in effect.
The Meteorological Service says there is a high (70% – 80%) chance of heavy showers/thunderstorms affecting Trinidad, Tobago and surrounding marine areas.
These conditions are associated with the passage of an active Tropical Wave.
Conditions are expected to intermittently deteriorate over the period with the most impactful weather during pre-dawn/early morning.
Heavy downpours can lead to isolated flood events that may cause temporary traffic disruptions and gusty winds may be experienced in the vicinity of heavy showers and thunderstorms. Seas can also become agitated which may hamper marine activities.
The population is asked to be alert to cloud to ground lightning activity and do not venture into flood waters.
Take the necessary precautions in sea related activities.
