Adverse Weather Alert Discontinued For T&T

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has discontinued the Adverse Weather Alert for T&T. There were no reports of inclement weather impacts for this alert.

What you need to know

— What: A surface to low-level trough moved across the Southern Windwards, including Trinidad and Tobago, on Saturday night, coupled with deep, tropical moisture from the Intertropical Convergence Zone, favorable upper-level divergence and low-level convergence, which led to periods of rain, isolated to scattered showers, and thunderstorms.
— Where: Most areas across T&T recorded up to 20 millimeters of rainfall, with areas across southwestern Tobago, eastern and southern Trinidad recording locally higher totals up to 50 millimeters. In southeastern Trinidad, higher totals were recorded. Wind gusts were generally below severe levels (>63 km/h) across the country, with peak gusts as high as 53 km/h
— When: The TTMS has discontinued the Adverse Weather Alert at 5:54 PM on Sunday, December 7th, 2025.
— Impacts: The potential for impactful rainfall has significantly decreased. However, low-level winds remain elevated and may exceed 45 km/h in locally heavy showers, leading to fallen trees/utility poles/lines, as well as landslides, localized wind damage, and agitated seas. Chances for isolated heavy showers or the odd thunderstorm are low, but if they occur, they may produce localized and short-lived street/flash flooding and localized ponding.
— What Should You Do: Remain vigilant and monitor weather conditions, assessing your surroundings before venturing out. Monitor weather updates.

Adverse Weather Alert information from the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service

The TTMS states, “Although there is the possibility that light lingering showers may persist, the threat of impactful weather has significantly decreased.”

The alert’s color indicates the event’s severity and the likelihood of its occurrence. Currently, the alert level is green. This alert status considers the possibility of the event ending, with certainty at its second-lowest level, at “possible,” and the severity is minor. Discontinuations and green-level alerts have historically been issued with a likelihood of ‘very likely/observed’ or ‘likely’.

This means that additional hazards (street/flash flooding, gusty winds, landslides) are still possible; the impacts are minor for this particular alert.

The Met Office advises the public to remain vigilant and monitor weather conditions, assessing their surroundings before venturing out, and to monitor weather updates.
