The six named storms whirling at once this week in the Atlantic and Pacific set a record, forecasters reported.

"While Humberto and Kiko were spinning in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific, four new tropical cyclones formed Tuesday: Imelda and Jerry in the Atlantic Basin, and Mario and Lorena in the Eastern Pacific Basin," the Weather Channel reported.

"It's not something that you see all the time, but not unheard of, either," said Weather Channel meteorologist Danielle Banks.

Adverse weather incoming, country under alert

An area of dis­turbed weath­er with medi­um chances of de­vel­op­ing in­to a trop­i­cal cy­clone is fore­cast to move across Trinidad, To­ba­go and the South­ern Wind­wards this week­end in­to ear­ly next week.

This sys­tem is fore­cast to bring rain, show­ers, and thun­der­storms.

This ac­tiv­i­ty is fore­cast to pro­duce co­pi­ous amounts of rain­fall be­gin­ning by late Sat­ur­day, lin­ger­ing through Tues­day.

An Ad­verse Weath­er Alert (Yel­low Lev­el) will go in­to ef­fect 6 am Sun­day through 8 pm Mon­day when the most in­tense ac­tiv­i­ty is fore­cast.

This heavy and pro­longed rain­fall is fore­cast to trig­ger street, flash and even pos­si­ble river­ine flood­ing across Trinidad and To­ba­go Sun­day through Mon­day.

This heavy rain­fall may al­so be ac­com­pa­nied by gusty winds, at times above 65 kilo­me­tres per hour.

Wind gusts at this strength can down trees, util­i­ty poles, and lines which may block roads and cause lo­cal­ized pow­er out­ages.

Roof dam­age may al­so oc­cur.

Seas are al­so fore­cast to be af­fect­ed, be­com­ing mod­er­ate to rough be­tween late Sat­ur­day through ear­ly Tues­day, with waves up to 4.0 me­ters in open wa­ters.

Waves and swells are fore­cast to bat­ter North­ern and East­ern coast­lines of Trinidad, pos­ing a threat to mariners and ma­rine in­ter­ests.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia, Jer­ry David, the se­nior dis­as­ter man­age­ment unit co­or­di­na­tor for the Min­istry of Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment, he said that all cor­po­ra­tions across the coun­try had been placed on alert Fri­day af­ter­noon.

Ac­cord­ing to David, cor­po­ra­tions were in­struct­ed to prepo­si­tion equip­ment, ve­hi­cles, and sup­plies to move in a state of readi­ness as this strong weath­er sys­tem nears T&T.

Al­though the cor­po­ra­tions across Trinidad and To­ba­go are in a state of readi­ness, David re­it­er­at­ed that the onus of pre­pared­ness is on the in­di­vid­ual.

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice has ad­vised that ad­e­quate prepa­ra­tions should be made to safe­guard life and prop­er­ty and per­sons should cre­ate a safe­ty plan in case of emer­gency in their alert.

Rain in allyuh mudasss

[hustla_ambition101]

May very well veer north......

[Gladiator]

When it's disorganized like that it would just move forward and drench us. When it starts to get a little organized then it will move North.

May very well veer north......

[VexXx Dogg]

Basically expect some flash floods maybe some riverine depending on area?

[PariaMan]

I expecting either a break up or a strengthening and turn to the north

[MaxPower]

I have no faith in the T&T met services dept. They too lazy and inefficient. I even called them a day to advise them that the Sigmet they issued previously had the wrong track direction...and as expected...attitude from the dunce.

Anyways, always be prepared. Allyuh should not now be scrambling for sand bags etc jus because a VN circulating.

[redmanjp]

And it seems Met Office website is down at this critical point in time
