According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) this morning (Tuesday 30th August 2022), there is a moderate concentration of Saharan dust present in the atmosphere. Persons are advised to take the necessary precautions.
The Met Office notes that morning sunshine, providing heating together with light and variable winds, is forecast to produce some showers in a few areas today. There is a 60% chance of a heavy shower or thunderstorm during the early afternoon, favouring Trinidad. The foreleg of the Tropical Wave associated with the area of interest to the East of the Lesser Antilles, will provide an increase in moisture over Trinidad and Tobago from late afternoon into night. As a result, some cloudiness will linger overnight with occasional showers in a few areas and the chance of a heavy shower or thunderstorm. It is forecast at this time that tomorrow morning (Wednesday 31st August 2022) will be generally sunny and during the late morning into the afternoon there is a chance for isolated thunderstorm activity. Areas of Interest: 1. The area of interest which the TTMS has been monitoring over the past several days continues in a general West-Northwest direction and at this time, poses no direct threat to Trinidad and Tobago. 2. Another area of interest in the far Eastern Atlantic, just off the West coast of Africa, is forecast to track to its immediate Northeast and also poses no threat to Trinidad and Tobago, at this time. The Met Office is advising citizens that we are entering the peak of the North Atlantic Hurricane Season and nearly half way through the Rainy Season. “Once again we are advising that the ground remains very moist and in some areas waterlogged, as a result, in the event of thunderstorms or heavy showers there is an elevated risk for street/flash flooding and landslides/landslips in areas to prone.” 32-Year-Old Deodath Ramkissoon Found ALIVE After Allegedly Being Kidnapped For Several Days30/8/2022 Pictured Above: Deodath Ramkissoon, 32. 32-year-old Deodath ‘Richard’ Ramkissoon has been found alive after being reported missing since Thursday (25th August 2022). The Hunters Search and Rescue Team (HSRT), led by Captain Vallence Rambharat, also confirmed the news that Ramkissoon has indeed been found alive.
According to reports, Ramkissoon, a former doubles vendor, was dropped off by his alleged kidnappers on the Manzanilla Road sometime between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM this morning (Tuesday 30th August 2022). After managing to get in contact with Police, Ramkissoon confirmed that he went to drop off his workers in San Juan on Thursday night. While driving along the Churchill Roosevelt Highway (CRH) en route to his home at Orange Grove Trace, Pasea Extension, St. Augustine, he told Police his car was hit by a truck. After pulling to the side to inspect the damage, a bag was allegedly pulled over his head and he was forced into said vehicle. He alleges his kidnappers drove for approximately thirty (30) minutes to a house, where he was asked for the money he received from selling his Mercedes Benz. He denied owning or selling such a vehicle. He said the kidnappers also asked for a contact number to request a ransom but Ramkissoon told them he did not have one, as he left his phone at home. The kidnappers allegedly took $13,000 which he had in his pocket. Additionally, he told investigators that while he was in captivity for several days, he was only given two (2) bottles of water and three (3) hops bread. Ramkissoon’s relatives became worried when he failed to return home on Thursday night, prompting them to report him missing. They offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to his safe return on Sunday (28th August 2022).
