The T&T Met Service has issued ADVERSE WEATHER ALERT # 1 – YELLOW LEVEL.

The TTMS explained that a combination of features, including the ITCZ and low-level troughs, is expected to affect the region. Periods of rain and/or showers of varying intensities are expected, with a medium to high (60 – 70%) chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms that can produce intense rainfall in excess of 50mm.

The Service also noted that Street/flash flooding and localised ponding are also likely in heavy downpours. Landslides/landslips are also possible in susceptible areas, as the land is already saturated. Gusty winds in excess of 55 km/h may be experienced and seas can become agitated at times in sheltered areas.
