Friday: Periods of rain, numerous showers, and isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecast to affect T&T from midnight throughout the day. Rainfall will interrupt mostly cloudy to overcast skies. Heavier showers and thunderstorm activity are forecast to favor Trinidad throughout the day though thunderstorm activity is possible across Tobago. Lingering showers and isolated thunderstorms are forecast through the overnight hours.

Saturday: Similar conditions to Friday are forecast, with periods of rain, numerous showers, and isolated to scattered thunderstorms across Trinidad and Tobago throughout the day, interrupting mostly cloudy to overcast skies. Again, heavier rainfall is forecast to favor Trinidad. Conditions are forecast to settle briefly into the late evening, with a resurgence of rainfall overnight.

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has issued a Riverine Flood Alert (Yellow Level) from 8PM today, Friday June 4th 2021, to 12PM on Sunday June 6th 2021.

Low lying areas near water courses in Central and Northern Trinidad are expected to be affected.

The TT Met Service says river levels are currently near threshold values in some parts, especially along the Caroni River basin. Additional rainfall is expected overnight and tomorrow, which will further elevate river levels. There is a moderate risk to public safety, livelihoods and property as watercourses may overtop their banks.

Citizens are advised to monitor weather conditions and river levels before venturing outside. Monitor updates from official sources and plan safety measures, including emergency supplies of food and water and follow the instructions of Government officials.

Was wondering how these inches are measured...I have an empty concrete pond that I pumped out dry on Thursday. Between Friday and now there is about 5 inches of water from the rain. Does that mean we got 5 inches of rain in this area...

they said 'last 8hrs'. but its average accross the island. without knowldege, i would presume they ahve various weather sites that collect data, so they may take an average for an island wide figure. and some places got more, while others got less.

Funnily enough I was wondering the exact same as you this morning when the rain started to share licks. Basically if a concrete pond or something could be used to get some kind of estimate of total rainfall. It's probably like smash said tho, an average of different locations. But it'd be nice to know if that 5" in your pond correlates to any official figure in a meaningful way.

“The standard instrument for the measurement of rainfall is the 203mm (8 inch) rain gauge. This is essentially a circular funnel with a diameter of 203mm which collects the rain into a graduated and calibrated cylinder. The measuring cylinder can record up to 25mm of precipitation.”

u may dip a cup in the ocean, examine it and conclude there are not whales in the ocean.
ur saying they use one point of data to estimate rainfall across the whole island?
cause sumtimes arima has tropcial storm conditions while we baking in south.

They check it in multiple locations obviously.
You can check it in your location yourself.
