The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has discontinued the Hazardous Seas Alert for the country on Monday at 8:02 AM.
Over the last 24 hours, northerly long-period swells have affected predominantly T&T’s northern coastlines. These swells are forecast to return by Wednesday, which may require another Hazardous Seas Alert to be issued.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service, “The risk posed by impactful northeasterly long-period swells has diminished, and sea conditions around Trinidad and Tobago have been improving. Waves are currently 1.5m – 2.0m in open waters and less than 1.0m in sheltered areas.”
The alert’s color indicates the event’s severity and probability of the event occurring. Currently, the alert level is at Green, as the discontinuation was issued, and the certainty is observed (or very likely).
According to the TTMS, public safety, livelihoods, and property are at low risk at this level.
The Met Office advises, “all marine interests should continue to monitor sea conditions.”
