(Trinidad Express) BULLETIN: Weather activity associated with the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is forecast to affect Trinidad and Tobago in 12 to 24 hours, from early Wednesday morning. Trinidad and Tobago will experience cloudy conditions accompanied by periods of light to moderate showers or rain, some heavy at times, with an 80% (high) chance of thundershowers.

Localized street or flash flooding is likely in heavy or prolonged downpours and this can further exacerbate areas that remain inundated from recent vicinity of heavy showers or thundershowers. There is also the likelihood of landslides/landslips in areas so prone.
