First real rain for the year now. High winds too. Good Luck for those who in POS today... with the flash floods plastic bottles clogged drains and all.

Well it looks like the rain is making an entrance and what is disheartening is the fact that now its going to be a wet mess with potholes becoming real craters and the annual floods with citizens suffering loses etc.
It is just too predictable what we all are about to face and it certainly isn't something to look forward too.
…….Hoping for the best but expecting the worse is just our normal.

let's see if we learnt anything from last year

[Dave]

^^^that would be the absolute sad part but it is so refreshing to see rain and puddles. Lots here in Tacarigua.

[pugboy]

Lewwe see if the #72 project by lighthouse will help with flooding by city gate

[Dizzy28]

Ditto. Here in SAPH waiting for a pediatrician and its absolutely pouring outside.

First rains be like that. All the sooty oil and such pollutants for half a year would come out with the first soaking and form a very slick layer on all the roads.

Seeing some drains in cunupia filled after this lil rain, couple in grande(due to poor construction ethics)....we in for a repeat of last year...or even worse...sad to say

[Les Bain]

Met Office announce rainy season officially start.

Does than mean hose ban over?

[Dave]

Not necessarily. As was explained June to August is going to have less than normal rain fall so water ban may not be lifted that easily.

[aaron17]

Dang i was searching for this.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Saw this floating around...article said lil bad weather between sun and mon

[aaron17]

Nvm..they say ban still in effect and will take months to replenish water for next dry season.

[Gem_in_i]

Place soooo hotttt

[redmanjp]

Met Office announce rainy season officially start.

Does than mean hose ban over?

it will take at least weeks of rain to recover from months of little rain so not yet (although i think maybe north trinidad had more rain)

[Les Bain]

Stinks with the hose ban still in effect but the rainy season preview is really welcome.

I hope some measures have been taken for the rainy season, especially in those epically flooded areas from last season.

[shogun]

Not necessarily. As was explained June to August is going to have less than normal rain fall so water ban may not be lifted that easily.

Yup. Heard the same.

[aaron17]

Hmm I thought rain today..hmmm
