The Met Office has issued an Adverse Weather Alert. The Yellow Level Alert encourages members of the public to monitor conditions.

According to the Met Office, adverse weather is occurring in varying areas and would likely continue throughout the day. This will result in street/flash flooding, gusty winds and landslides/landslips in areas so prone.

This is due to an active ITCZ over the area which is interacting with a low level trough.

Persons should carefully monitor weather conditions before venturing outside, and monitor official updates.

So far, there have been reports of flash floods in San Fernando near VMCOTT, and in the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo Regional Corporation, the Couva Main Road, and the Caparo Valley Road in the vicinity of Sharp Road and Carr Trace were flooded. There were also reports of flooding in the Mayaro area as well.
