ok so first tropical wave coming in
The first Tropical Wave for the 2015 Wet Season is expected to pass across Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow into Friday according to the Meteorological Service.
Therefore expect rain showers with isolated thundershowers and heavy rainfall as the weekend approaches.
The wet Season rainfall outlook indicates that for June to December large parts of Trinidad are likely to be wetter than usual with north Trinidad likely to be the wettest area. Tobago, south-western Trinidad and isolated parts north-eastern and north-western Trinidad have increased chances for drier than usual conditions.
Be mindful that increased rainfall combined with recent bushfires will encourage faster run-off leading to increased risk of flooding, landslips and landslides.
In addition to the increase of vector borne diseases, the increased rainfall mixed with humid conditions will also encourage development of some agricultural pests, diseases and fungal growth.
