The TTMS has issued an updated Weather Alert #5 – Yellow Level.

Occasional showers and periods of rain are still expected during the day today as well as a medium (60%) chance for periodic heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms. There is an increased risk of street flooding and landslides/landslips, particularly in areas with saturated soils. In the event of heavy rainfall, smaller watercourses may rise rapidly and overtop in some areas. Winds may become gusty in the vicinity of heavy showers/thunderstorms. These winds may further agitate sea conditions, displace loose outdoor items and even topple unstable trees. A Riverine Alert – Orange Level is also in effect mainly for rivers in the Caroni River Basin.

The TTMS urges persons in flood and landslide prone areas to remain alert, take precautions where necessary and monitor official updates. Motorists and residents in flood-prone areas should avoid flooded areas and exercise caution. People are also advised to secure loose outdoor objects and take necessary precautions to mitigate potential impacts.
