RIVERINE FLOOD ALERT #1 – YELLOW LEVEL

By Shirvan Williams

After the extended rainfall today, the T&T Met Service has advised that river levels of the major watercourses across Trinidad continue to rise and are currently near 80% capacity.

Even though weather conditions have since settled, occasional periods of heavy showers are likely. This additional rainfall, in combination with spring tides, can keep the river levels elevated, so there remains a moderate risk to public safety, livelihood and property.

They have also advised that smaller water courses over both Trinidad and Tobago are also
elevated and can burst their banks with additional rainfall.
