TROPICAL WAVE AND FURTHER RAINFALL ACTIVITY TONIGHT
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Services is heightening its alert of flooding scenarios in Trinidad as another rainfall event is expected to occur tonight with the arrival of a Tropical Wave. The occurrence of landslides in both Trinidad and Tobago are also likely.
This tropical wave is anticipated to add anywhere between 30 – 50 millimeters of rainfall to an already burgeoning water course system.
Widespread flooding can be anticipated as the rainfall is materialized overnight.
River courses of moderate carrying capacities will become quickly inundated. The major Caroni River is expected to be severely challenged with this new rainfall event. Reports reaching the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Services are that the water levels in the Caroni River are just below threshold levels.
Street/flash flood waters will be slow to retreat as river courses are swollen. Riverine flooding will be widespread and prolonged.
Citizens generally and those who live in the Caroni River Basin in particular are urgently asked to take immediate action! All necessary measures MUST be taken to preserve life and property.
WE WISH TO UNDERSCORE THAT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO IS NOT UNDER ANY TROPICAL STORM THREAT, WATCH OR WARNING AT THIS TIME.
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service is closely monitoring weather conditions and will issue another bulletin at 6:00am tomorrow morning or sooner if warranted.
