The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued an updated advisory warning the public of expected thunderstorm activity and is urging precautionary measures to ensure safety.

Adverse Weather Alert #2 – Yellow Level states that showers and isolated thunderstorm activity and associated gusts near downpours are ongoing over Trinidad and Tobago, with choppy seas in the vicinity of gusts.

A lull in these adverse conditions is expected later today with improvement starting over Tobago.

An increase in activity is expected overnight with a peak in activity tomorrow morning. Conditions and impacts will not be continuous over the period.

Impacts continue to include temporary traffic disruptions, street flooding and localised ponding, displacement of objects by gusts and difficulty manoeuvring and anchoring smaller marine craft. Landslides and landslips are also likely in areas so prone.

The TTMS further advises the public to secure loose outdoor objects. Motorists and residents in flood-prone areas avoid flooded areas and exercise caution. Take necessary precautions to mitigate potential impacts.
