The Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice says fore­cast rain­fall this morn­ing, com­bined with ac­cu­mu­la­tions over the past sev­er­al hours, sig­nif­i­cant­ly in­crease the risk of lo­calised flood­ing and land­slides.

In an ear­ly morn­ing Ad­verse Weath­er Alert/Yel­low Lev­el, the Met Ser­vice said ad­di­tion­al­ly, mod­er­ate to strong winds in the low­er at­mos­phere may cause gusts near 55 kph in the vicin­i­ty of heavy down­pours, which can lead to falling de­bris or dis­placed roofs and ag­i­tat­ed seas.

It urged mem­bers of the pub­lic to avoid ven­tur­ing in­to flood wa­ters and to se­cure loose out­door ob­jects.

Mariners should ex­er­cise added cau­tion.

“Mon­i­tor of­fi­cial up­dates from metof­fice.gov.tt and odpm.gov.tt,” the Met Ser­vice ad­vised.
