The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued a Riverine Flood Alert (Yellow Level) for major water courses in North and Central Trinidad, mainly the Caroni, Caparo and North Oropouche Rivers. The Alert began at 7:15 AM this morning (Sunday 30th October 2022) and will remain in effect until 10:00 AM on Tuesday (1st November 2022).
According to the Met Office, after significant rainfall overnight, river levels across Northern and Central Trinidad are currently near 75% - 85% and rising. Weather conditions are currently settling, however, occasional periods of heavy rainfall can be expected over the next twenty-four (24) hours, particularly Sunday night (30th October 2022) into Monday morning (31st October 2022). This additional rainfall can continue to elevate river levels, so there remains a moderate risk to public safety, livelihood and property. Run-off will be slow at high tide times which are approximately 8:00 AM and 7:25 PM for today (Sunday 30th October 2022). The Met Office notes that we can expect partly cloudy to cloudy conditions today, with intermittent showers and periods of light rain. There is also the 60% (medium) chance of isolated thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon and overnight. Gusty winds and street/flash flooding are likely near heavy downpours. The forecast maximum temperature today will be 30°C at both Piarco in Trinidad and Crown Point in Tobago. Citizens are advised to carefully monitor weather conditions and river/water levels. Monitor updates from official sources and plan safety measures, including emergency supplies of food and water. Do not take unnecessary risks. Follow the instructions of Government Officials.
