The Trinidad and Tobago Met Office has issued an Adverse Weather Alert #1 – YELLOW LEVEL from 11 pm tonight, December 21 until 4 pm on December 23. The Met Office said that there is a high (70%) potential for isolated moderate to heavy showers accompanied by gusty winds in excess of 55 km/hr.

They have also warned that such wind gusts may be brief but are capable of displacing unsecured roofs and loose outdoor objects and can even topple over unhealthy trees. Heavy downpours can lead to street flooding and localized ponding, especially in low lying areas. While Trinidad is expected to experience the majority of the rainfall activity and associated impacts, there is still the likelihood of Tobago experiencing isolated strong gusts in the vicinity of showers.
