According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), overall, flood risk potential exists across the whole Wet Season. The areas of greatest risk for flooding include the Caroni, North Oropouche and South Oropouche River Basins. The local Flood Season is likely to expand as the Season progresses.
The Met Office notes that there is an elevated flood potential, with a higher-than-normal flood potential in Northeast Trinidad, near Valencia, Sangre Grande, including Vega de Oropouche, Fishing Pond, Sangre Chiquito and environs. Similar elevated potential exists in the South Oropouche River Basin, Penal, Debe, Princes Town and parts of Couva. Flood potential is moderately higher than normal for St. Helena and environs, Plum Mitan and environs, parts of Mayaro, the city of Port-of-Spain, Maraval and lower Diego Martin. Tobago has a slightly higher than usual flood potential in the Western half of the island. — Arshad Y. Khan (@youthere1web) June 1, 2023
