Met Office: Get your umbrellas out

THERE is need to keep your umbrellas nearby today as the TT Meterological Office has issued an adverse weather yellow alert. The alert says that from 10 am today until 2 pm tomorrow there is likely to be heavy showers and thunderstorms over Trinidad.

The issued alert also said street/flash flooding and gusts of wind up to 65km/h are likely near heavy downpours. There is also the possibility of landslides or landslips along hilly areas.
