Trinidad and Tobago is now under an Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level), going into effect for the country at 12pm today.
According to a release from the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS):
"Scattered showers and thunderstorms with lightning are likely to develop over western Trinidad, gradually affecting other areas as the afternoon progresses. This is due a very unstable atmosphere. Gusty winds ( in excess of 55km/hr ), street and flash flooding are expected near the heavier showers and thunderstorms."

The TTMS also warned citizens to "be alert to cloud to ground lightning activity and do not venture into flood waters. Take the necessary precautions in sea-related activities."
