ADVERSE WEATHER ALERT #2 – YELLOW LEVEL

By Shirvan Williams

The T&T Met Service has issued second Yellow Level Weather Alert.

According to the TTMS:

“A combination of features, including the ITCZ and a low – level trough, is expected to affect the region. Periods of rain and/or showers of varying intensities are expected, with a high (80%) chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms that can produce intense rainfall in excess
of 50mm. 

Gusty winds in excess of 55 km/h may be experienced especially in the vicinity of heavy showers/thunderstorms. Street/flash flooding and localized ponding are also likely in heavy downpours. Seas can become agitated at times in sheltered areas and landslides/landslips are also possible in areas so prone. 

The most significant weather is likely to occur from Wednesday evening (26th). Until then, generally settled conditions will be interrupted by occasional heavy showers and isolated thunderstorm activity.”
