Riverine Flood Alert information from the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service

“Ongoing rainfall activity compounded with previous rainfall accumulations from earlier today has led to major river levels rising at significant rates, especially at points along the Caroni River. The Manuel Congo River is also approaching critical thresholds. Periods of rainfall are expected to continue over the next 24 hours, resulting in further elevation of these river levels. As a result, there is now a severe risk to public safety, livelihood, and property in communities surrounding these rivers. Other major rivers, including the North and South Oropouche, are rising at relatively low rates, but are also being closely monitored. Note that run-off will be slow at high tide, which will be at 4:00 a.m. and 5:26 p.m.(Thu 12th June 2025), according to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service. This “alert” status takes into account the possibility of the event occurring. This riverine flood event is possible.

The color of the alert indicates the severity of the event and its likelihood of occurring. Currently, the alert level is Yellow. This means that the hazard is possible, and you should be aware of the potential impacts of street, flash, and riverine flooding in your area. Severe impacts are expected.

For a severe Riverine Flood Alert, there is a potential for loss of life or serious injuries; physical defenses are necessary, significant losses are possible in confined areas, income-earning activities are impossible for several days, and several communities are affected, requiring external help for recovery.

The public should monitor weather conditions and river levels before venturing out. Avoid areas with floodwaters, monitor updates from official sources, and plan safety measures, including emergency supplies of food and water. Follow the instructions of government officials.
