Possible Impacts
Saharan Dust concentrations are forecast to remain at elevated levels through Friday afternoon and again from Sunday evening, marginally affecting visibility and air quality.
While no other significant hazards are forecast, it is always worth mentioning the rip current hazard that exists on all beaches across T&T, particularly northern and eastern-facing coastlines that receive the larger waves in sheltered areas.
