A Yel­low Lev­el Ad­verse Weath­er Alert has been ac­ti­vat­ed for Trinidad and sur­round­ing wa­ters, and to a less­er ex­tent, To­ba­go.

The Alert went in­to ef­fect at 2:00 am to­day (June 10, 2025), and will re­main ac­tive un­til 4:00 PM on Wednes­day (June 11, 2025).

Ac­cord­ing to the ad­vi­so­ry is­sued by the Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice (TTMS), there is a 60% chance of iso­lat­ed heavy show­ers and thun­der­storm ac­tiv­i­ty as­so­ci­at­ed with at­mos­pher­ic in­sta­bil­i­ty ex­pect­ed from ear­ly morn­ing.

Met Ser­vice fore­cast­ers warn that the most im­pact­ful weath­er is ex­pect­ed main­ly over south­ern and east­ern off­shore ar­eas this morn­ing, slow­ly ex­tend­ing across Trinidad and To­ba­go.

“Show­ers and iso­lat­ed thun­der­storms con­tin­ue to af­fect both is­lands,” the Met Ser­vice says. These may be ac­com­pa­nied by strong gusts near down­pours and chop­py seas, es­pe­cial­ly around Trinidad. While there may be a lull in ac­tiv­i­ty lat­er to­day—be­gin­ning first over To­ba­go—con­di­tions are fore­cast to in­ten­si­fy again overnight, with a peak in ac­tiv­i­ty ex­pect­ed on Wednes­day morn­ing.”

Gusty winds with vary­ing in­ten­si­ties are ex­pect­ed in the vicin­i­ty of heavy down­pours.

“Im­pacts in­clude tem­po­rary traf­fic dis­rup­tions, street flood­ing and lo­calised pond­ing, dis­place­ment of ob­jects by gusts and dif­fi­cul­ty an­chor­ing ma­rine craft, as well as land­slides and land­slips in vul­ner­a­ble ar­eas,” the ad­vi­so­ry stat­ed.

“These con­di­tions and im­pacts are ex­pect­ed in in­ter­vals over the pe­ri­od,” it added.

Mem­bers of the pub­lic are strong­ly ad­vised to do the fol­low­ing:

● Se­cure loose out­door ob­jects to pre­vent dam­age or in­jury.

● Mo­torists and res­i­dents in flood-prone ar­eas should ex­er­cise cau­tion. In essence, avoid flood­ed ar­eas—whether dri­ving or walk­ing—and take ex­tra care on the roads.

● Res­i­dents in low-ly­ing or land­slide-prone ar­eas should re­main alert and pre­pared to act.

● Mariners op­er­at­ing small­er craft should avoid ex­posed or chop­py ar­eas.

● Take ALL nec­es­sary pre­cau­tions to mit­i­gate po­ten­tial im­pacts.
