THE Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued a Hazardous Sea Alert Yellow Level 1 from 2 pm on Friday to Sunday at 12 noon.
The Met Office stated, “Northerly high energy swells are expected to initially impact near-shore areas of Northern Tobago and gradually encroach on the Northern and Western coastal areas of Trinidad today. These swells can result in battering waves at shallower coastal regions and can be exacerbated during high tides.”
All marine interests should carefully monitor near-shore/coastal sea conditions and exercise caution along affected areas.
Here’s a look at today’s weather courtesy TTMS:
FORECAST: Predominantly sunny, hazy and breezy at times despite the chance of brief showers during the afternoon period. Hazy and warm night.
The Leeward Islands: Cloudy to overcast and breezy with periods of light rain/showers in broad areas. Heavier showers or isolated thunderstorms are likely in a few areas.
Caution: Hazardous Seas Alert is in effect. There is a moderate to high concentration of Saharan dust present in the atmosphere. Persons who sensitive to this change in air quality should take necessary precautions.
Sunrise: 5. 48 am Sunset: 6.18 pm
Seas are moderate with waves up to two meters in open waters and near one metre choppy in sheltered areas.
