If you have jury duty today and road flood out by you, as in almost impassable, what are the consequences?

Take pics for proof. With the date and time watermarks. Send them by email or whatsapp to the courthouse contact with the explanation. Document everything and store it.

that foil ain’t doing much
once most materials heat up past a certain point they radiate the heat straight thru as thought they weren’t there

if you ever drive close pass a raging bushfire with your glass up you will experience the heat like a laser passing thru the glass

the concrete walls heating up act as a huge heat reservoir which your poor ac have to struggle against

It's working so far - the metal rolling shutter is now cool - before I couldn't even touch it for long.
But I'm sure there's a limit to how much it will do.
Don't know if tint will be better

The ceramic tint will make a major major difference.

For the past few years I put in all my vehicles.

I had a almera with leather seats that only had the the ceramic tint and I never put any shaded tint because police and almera is bacchanal. That car cud have parked in the sun whole day and still not be hot inside

U don't even feel heat when you touch the glass if you have good ceramic tint.

WEATHER OUTLOOK

During the morning period of tomorrow (Tuesday 13th June, 2023) a low level trough, in association with moisture from the northern fringes of the ITCZ, is forecast to bring partly cloudy to cloudy periods, with showers or rain and a medium to high chance for thunderstorm development, favouring, but not confined to, eastern and southern Trinidad, mainly during the morning.

Riverine Flood Alert #1( Orange Level) is in effect! https://www.metoffice.gov.tt/early_warning

On Wednesday 14th June, due to low level convergence and instability, partly cloudy to cloudy periods, with showers or rain and a medium chance for development of isolated thunderstorms, can be expected from late morning into the afternoon. There should be some easing and settling by late afternoon into the evening. During the late night, because of an approaching tropical wave, conditions may become unsettled again.

The axis of the next tropical wave is forecast to pass Trinidad and Tobago early on Thursday morning (15th June), which will bring partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with periods of showers or rain and a medium to high chance for thunderstorm development. Some settlement can be expected during the evening but with lingering showers in some areas.

Friday 16th June is expected to be relatively settled but with partly cloudy periods at times, mainly during the morning and early afternoon. There remains a chance for an isolated thunderstorm to develop during the late morning or early afternoon, favouring southern areas of Trinidad.

The near surface to the mid-levels (2,500ft to 10,000ft approx.) wind flow, generally from the east, is increasing in strength from Tuesday afternoon to Friday evening. There is the possibility for this to transfer downward, in the vicinity of showers or thunderstorms, resulting in strong gustiness at the surface levels, and especially in elevated areas.

In the event of heavy showers or thunderstorms winds can become gusty and street or flash flooding is likely in the vicinity.

There are mostly mild concentrations of Saharan dust in the atmosphere over the next few days.

With the regular passing of troughs and tropical waves, the ITCZ and its associated moisture, is at times being modulated into the near south of Trinidad, and will play a part in enhancing the instability in our area.

Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS. The Public Forecast is updated daily at 6AM, 10AM, and 4PM. https://www.metoffice.gov.tt/.

You talking about the GOAT? Yea he has been saying that for this whole week, but MET office is late on this and anyone can pretty much say what is already happening.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Paging wingstones to see if our last calls were still warranted? Adapt to it ent?

[MaxPower]

Seeing a blob approaching

[wing]

It's amazing how tuner is populated with meteorologists, epidemiologists, political scientists, economists, forensics specialists etc etc etc. We seem to forget that apparently rain falls during the wet season, sometimes heavily and sometimes accompanied by thunder and lightning. Imagine somebody who have ol'noise in an ol'panel van telling the population that we should be under yellow alert , while the met office staying silent. Is tuner a real place?

I see that g string all up yuh kaka%$¥( like dental floss.

I'm still yet to see the correlation with my old noise and weather alerts....attention seeking much?

You resorting to name calling is not surprising. Possible lower IQ caused by relentless exposure to high decibel noise? I'm pretending to be a neurosurgeon.

[bluefete]

L'il breeze passing through with some rain.

[K74T]

Gusty here in Barataria with a shower as well.

Another gust of breeze and rain on the way. Good thing is that the breeze blows away the rain.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Just had a squall here in Chaguanas. Only lasted a few minutes of high winds and rain. It’s dead calm now.
