MET OFFICE Bulletin #
Date: Tuesday 08th of November 2016
ISSUED AT: 10:13 AM
INCLEMENT WEATHER TO RE-INTRODUCE FLOOD RISK.
Within the next 4 – 8 hours, Trinidad and Tobago
will experience cloudy conditions with periods of
rain, heavy showers and thundershowers. This
activity is related to a low level trough system.
Although the occurrence of heavy showers and
thundershowers will be localized to some areas,
rainfall accumulations could be in excess of 25mm.
Numerical Weather Prediction Models indicate that
heavy rainfall events are not expected to be
widespread. However, the additional rainfall
expected today, brings with it the possibility of
additional surface runoff to already high water
levels in the Caroni and other river Basins in
central Trinidad.
Citizens in general, especially those residing
along the Caroni River Basin and other flood prone
areas are advised to be vigilant and cautious as
they conduct their activities. Please pay
attention to the media or visit our website at
http://www.metoffice.gov.tt/forecast for daily weather
updates at 6am, 10am, 3pm and 6pm.
We wish to underscore that at this time Trinidad
and Tobago is not under any Tropical Storm threat,
Watch or Warning. The Trinidad and Tobago
Meteorological Service will continue to closely
monitor this weather event and will issue another
bulletin if the situation warrants.
