A yellow-level weather alert comes into effect from 2 pm on Sunday.

It ends on Monday at 2 pm.

The alert was issued on Sunday at 9.57 am by the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS).

According to the TTMS, “There is a high chance (70%) of isolated heavy showers and thunderstorm activity associated with the passage of a Tropical Wave from this afternoon. The most impactful weather is expected over Tobago and eastern Trinidad tonight into tomorrow, then slowly extending across Trinidad and Tobago.”

The population can expect gusty winds with varying intensities which are expected in the vicinity of heavy downpours.

Impacts include temporary traffic disruptions, street/flash flooding, localised ponding and gusty winds near heavy downpours.

These winds may displace loose outdoor items, agitate seas and can even topple unstable trees. Landslides and land slips are possible in areas prone.

“These conditions and impacts are expected in intervals over the period,” TTMS stated.

The TTMS again advises in such conditions persons should secure loose outdoor objects,  take necessary precautions to mitigate potential impacts  not venture into flood waters and to monitor official weather updates at www.metoffice.gov.tt.
