Tropical Storm Watch Yellow Level Is In Effect For Trinidad

A Tropical Storm Watch Yellow Level Is In Effect For Trinidad.

It was issued at 10:37 am and is scheduled to end at 12pm Monday.

A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect for Trinidad. This means that tropical storm conditions, including sustained winds of 63-118 km/h, are possible somewhere within the watch area, in this case within 24 hours.

At 11 am today, Hurricane Beryl was centered near 10.7N 54.9W, about 640 km east-southeast of Tobago.

Beryl is moving westward near 34km/h.

Though the stronger hurricane and tropical storm force winds are expected to be closely packed around the centre of Beryl, there is a low to marginally medium chance (10-30%) of tropical storm force winds affecting Trinidad, from early morning on Monday, 1st July, as Beryl approaches the southern Windwards. Sea conditions will be choppy and rough.

The next update will be at 2 pm or earlier if necessary.

Prepare for the possibility of tropical storm conditions. Have systems in place to protect lives, livelihood, and property. Secure loose outdoor objects and livestock. Marine interests should exercise extra caution.
