Trinidadians should get their umbrellas and galoshes ready as well as take other preparatory steps as the Met Office issued a yellow-level weather alert on November 17.
It is expected to be in effect from 1.30 pm-6 pm on Sunday.
The alert said there was a high chance that isolated heavy showers and thunderstorms with lightning could develop over the country.
It attributed this to a very moist and unstable atmosphere.
“Gusty winds (in excess of 55 km/hr ) and rainfall accumulations of 25-50 mm are expected near the heavier showers and thunderstorms,” the alert said.
This could result in isolated flash floods, localised street flooding and ponding (flooding that happens in relatively flat areas), temporary traffic disruptions and landslips.
