Despite discontinuing its Yellow Level Localized Flood Alert, the Met Service is advising persons to continue exercising caution.

The alert came to an end at 4PM, with the TTMS saying that a period of stabilizing atmospheric conditions had resulted in a significant reduction of heavy rainfall activity over Trinidad.

It says major watercourses and river channels were steadily returning to their normal, safe capacities, while widespread runoff from previous downpours had subsided, causing localized ponding and street flooding in low-lying areas to drain effectively.

However, it adds that while the immediate threat to life and property had passed, persons should remember that isolated, short-lived showers can still trigger minor street flooding in poorly drained areas.

While there was no widespread flooding today, there were reports of localized disruptions the Claxton Bay area.

According to the Local Government Ministry, moderate rainfall caused disruptions along Kangawood Road leading to the Forres Park Landfill.
