MET OFFICE BULLETIN

INFORMATION BULLETIN

Moderate to heavy showers and the occasional thundershower to affect Trinidad & Tobago today.

T&T should expect moderate to heavy showers and the occasional thundershower for at least the next 4-6 hours.

The adverse weather conditions are as a result of the low level convergence ably supported by a well positioned upper level trough.

Winds may gust in excess of 50KM/hr in heavy showers and thundershowers. Rainfall accumulations of between 30-40mm, or greater in come locations, can be expected this rainfall event.

Depending on rainfall intensities, rivers of moderate carrying capacities may become overwhelmed, Landslips/landslides may occur.

Citizens are advised to be vigilant and cautious as they conduct their daily activities given forecast weather conditions. Be alert to any electrical discharges from thundercloud activity. Adopt measures which would preserve life and property.

WE STRONGLY UNDERSCORE THAT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO IS NOT UNDER ANY TROPICAL STORM THREAT, WATCH OR WARNING AT THIS TIME.

The Trinidad & Tobago Meteorological Service is closely monitoring weather conditions and will issue another bulletin if the situation warrants.

U used to work here yuh bake. You know how it works.

[Habit7]

Yeah and forecasting major weather systems involved whatever bulletin we looked up from weather.com

See what happen when allyuh start colouring outside of the lines

[sMASH]

the systems they advise about, the same conditions have resulted in small micro bursts. there are a lot of cumulonimbus clouds, and they are giving some freak gusts of winds this year more than normal.

thing may not be widely experienced but there are very small scale things happening every so often.
