The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has extended its Riverine Flood Alert (Yellow Level) until 4pm this afternoon (Friday 30th July 2021) as Trinidad's major water courses have reached or exceeded threshold capacities.
TTMS notes it has received numerous reports of ongoing riverine flooding nationwide (except North-Western and South-Eastern areas), with flood waters currently rising in a few communities. No impactful rainfall is forecast throughout today. As such, the Met Office says that flood waters are expected to gradually subside by mid-morning to early evening.
Citizens are advised to carefully monitor weather conditions and river/water levels. Monitor updates from official sources, plan safety measures and do not take unnecessary risks. Avoid driving or wading through flood waters. Follow the instructions of Government Officials.
For today’s forecast, the Met Office says we can expect predominantly fair conditions, interrupted at times by some light to moderate showers over broad areas. There is a low to medium chance (30% to 40%) that some of these showers could become heavy and/or thundery favoring Northern areas. Nighttime will be mostly settled but for some isolated and persistent showers.
In the event of heavy showers and/or thundershowers, expect gusty winds, Street and/or Flash Flooding. We are a small operation.
