Trinidad and Tobago under yellow-level adverse weather alert

The Met Office says Trinidad and Tobago is under a yellow-level adverse weather alert set to end on May 30.

In a public notice on May 29, it said the alert would take effect at 11 pm on May 29 and end at 4 pm the following day.

It said there is a high chance of heavy showers and thunderstorm activity overnight owing to the passage of a low-level trough.

“Likely impacts include gusty winds in excess of 55 km/h which can lead to fallen trees, displace unsecured items and agitate seas.

“Street flooding and localised ponding can also occur as a result of this activity.”

The Met Office advised the public to stay safe during the weather alert.

“Do not wade or drive through floodwaters. Secure loose outdoor items and livestock."
