Breaking: Met Office Raises Adverse Weather Alert To Orange Level For ‘Intense Tropical Wave’21/9/2019
UPDATE (22/09/19 - 8am): T&T is now under a Tropical Storm Warning as the Tropical Wave was upgraded to Tropical Storm Karen. The Met Office has also issued a Red Level Alert for this Tropical Storm.
At approximately 1:30pm on Saturday 21st September 2019, the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service elevated its previous Adverse Weather Alert from Yellow to Orange Level. This action was taken ahead of what it now describes as an ‘intense Tropical Wave,’ which is expected to impact T&T between 6am on Sunday 22nd September and 8pm on Monday 23rd September 2019.
According to the Met Office, analysis of the latest data has increased the certainty of impactful weather. On the Risk Matrix, a high certainty of severe impact warrants a change to Orange Level.
The approaching Tropical Wave is expected to move through the area between Sunday 22nd September and Monday 23rd September 2019. Periods of heavy to intense showers and/or Thunderstorms are likely. Heavy/intense downpours are expected to result in Street/Flash Flooding. Gusty winds in excess of 65 Km/hr can be expected. The risk of Landslides/Landslips is very high in areas so prone. Sea conditions are also likely to become occasionally rough. Keep in mind that the above time-frame is an estimate for the most intense activity and it does not mean that showers and Thunderstorms won't be present beforehand.
