T&T under adverse weather alert

Trinidad and Tobago has been placed under an adverse weather alert. According to the Met Service, T&T can expect scattered showers and thunderstorms over the next 24 hours.

The Met Service says this is due to a broad area of low pressure associated with the ITCZ.

Gusty winds ( in excess of 55km/hr ) and rainfall accumulations of 25mm or higher are also expected near the heavier showers and thunderstorms.

This could lead to street flooding, localized flash flooding and ponding can cause temporary traffic disruptions and landslips in areas so prone. Gusty winds can lead to broken tree branches and loose/unsecured items being displaced. Seas can also become agitated during periods of heavy downpours.
