Bulletin#
Date: Monday 15th of June 2015
ISSUED AT:12:13PM
INCLEMENT WEATHER FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 8 HOURS
Over the past few hours, both Trinidad and Tobago
have been experiencing cloudy conditions with
periods of rain and showers, some of which have
been moderate to heavy in intensity. This
rainfall activity is due to the passage of a
Tropical Wave over the Southern Caribbean which
is interacting with the Inter-Tropical
Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
Reinforcing the 10:00 a.m. forecast, Trinidad and
Tobago will continue to experience these
conditions for at least the next 6 – 8 hours.
Some showers can become heavy and to a lesser
extent thundery at times. A decrease in frequency
and intensity of rain/showers is expected towards
late evening into tonight.
Localized street or flash flooding is likely in
heavy or prolonged downpours and gusty winds may
be experienced in the vicinity of showers or
thundershowers. There is also the likelihood of
landslides/landslips in elevated areas,
particularly in Tobago.
Citizens are advised to be vigilant and cautious
as they conduct their activities and to pay
attention to the media or visit our website at
http://www.metoffice.gov.tt/forecast for daily weather
updates at 6am, 10am, 3pm and 6pm.
We wish to underscore that at this time Trinidad
and Tobago is not under any Tropical Storm
threat, Watch or Warning.
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service
will continue to closely monitor this weather
event and will issue another bulletin if the
situation warrants.
