00:00Thank you, Disha. Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago. I'm Rochelle Edwards with the details on your weather.
00:06We're starting off with what happened internationally today.
00:10A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia's far eastern coast sent tsunami waves into Japan, Hawaii and the U.S. west coast this morning.
00:20The earthquake, which hit near Russia's Kamchatko Peninsula, is believed to be one of the most powerful ever recorded.
00:27Several people are said to have been injured, but there were no immediate reports of fatalities.
00:33More than 2 million people across the Pacific were ordered to evacuate, but most tsunami warnings have since been downgraded.
00:41Alerts were also issued in China, the Philippines, Indonesia, New Zealand and even as far as Peru, Chile and Mexico.
00:49Now this is very unfortunate news. Let's keep those affected in our prayers.
00:53Moving on to conditions back at home, in Portisbane presently, TV6's weather center says,
00:59downtown is mostly clear with temperatures at 32 degrees Celsius and winds coming east at 6 knots.
01:05We also have humidity at 62%.
01:08Looking at conditions tonight, tonight will be generally fair with minimum temperatures in Trinidad at 23 degrees Celsius
01:15and in Tobago, it's at 25 degrees Celsius.
01:18Now those generally fair conditions will continue into tomorrow.
01:23The Met Office is forecasting some isolated showers as well.
01:27There's a low to medium chance of isolated heavier showers favoring southern Trinidad.
01:32Maximum temperatures are forecasted to be 32 degrees in Trinidad and 31 in Tobago.
01:38Taking a sneak peek into our weekend, Friday's conditions will be party cloudy, eventually becoming cloudy
01:45and it will be accompanied by some isolated showers.
01:48There is a low to medium chance of that isolated heavier shower thunderstorm favoring southern and western Trinidad
01:55during the afternoon to be exact.
01:58Now as the evening progresses, cloudiness will increase and accompanied by the occasional shower.
02:04Hoping that Saturday will be any better?
02:06Well, I'm afraid not.
02:08Saturday will be cloudy with light to moderate periods of rain and the medium chance that some of these showers may be heavy and thundery.
02:16Conditions should settle by evening, despite some lingering showers.
02:20Maximum temperatures on Friday are 31 degrees in Trinidad and 30 in Tobago.
02:25And on Saturday, temperatures are 30 degrees in both Trinidad and Tobago.
02:31Despite conditions internationally, our seas remain moderate.
