00:00on with the weather forecast.

00:02Thanks, Disha. Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago.

00:05Let's get right to your weather.

00:06Let's begin with what's happening.

00:08The Madden-Julian Oscillation, put simply, MJO,

00:12is expected to reside over the Eastern Caribbean

00:15during the last week of October and November

00:18and will enhance rainfall over Trinidad and Tobago.

00:21So you're probably wondering, what's an MJO?

00:24Well, the Madden-Julian Oscillation is a moving system of clouds,

00:28wind, and rain that circles the tropics every 30 to 60 days.

00:33It plays a big role in tropical weather,

00:36affecting things like monsoons and the formation of tropical storms.

00:40Depending on its phase, the MJO can bring wetter or drier conditions

00:44to different regions.

00:46In our case, it will bring some extra showers.

00:49Here's what else is happening.

00:51Tropical storm Melissa, which is taking aim on the Caribbean,

00:55may strengthen to a hurricane in the next 24 to 48 hours.

00:59Melissa poses a biggest threat to Haiti and the Dominican Republic,

01:03Cuba, and Jamaica, where days of heavy rain and severe winds

01:07could lead to life-threatening landslides and flooding.

01:11Melissa is moving over water temperatures,

01:134 to 5 degrees above average for this time of year,

01:17which will help it strengthen from a tropical storm into a hurricane.

01:21Melissa is expected to approach Jamaica and the southwestern portion of Haiti

01:26later this week.

01:28A hurricane watch is in effect for the southwestern peninsula of Haiti

01:31from the border with the Dominican Republic to Port-au-Prince,

01:35while a tropical storm watch has been issued in Jamaica.

01:39A lot going on this week.

01:41Now, moving on to conditions in Port-A-Spain currently,

01:44we have temperatures at 27 degrees

01:46and winds coming east-southeast at 6 kilometers per hour.

01:51We have humidity at 89%.

01:53Looking at tonight, conditions are expected to be partly cloudy

01:57with a few overnight or early morning showers

02:00and minimum temperatures at 24 degrees in Trinidad

02:03and 25 in Tobago.

02:05And if you're singing,

02:07rain, rain, go away.

02:09Unfortunately, it's not going anywhere anytime soon

02:12because tomorrow the Met Office is forecasting partly cloudy and breezy conditions

02:17with occasional showers and the low chance of thunderstorm activity.

02:21It is important to remember that gusty winds near 58 kilometers per hour

02:25and street flooding can occur in areas under heavy showers and thunderstorms.

02:30Tomorrow's forecast maximum temperatures are 32 degrees

02:33in both Trinidad and Tobago.

02:36And our two-day forecast will follow suit

02:38with Friday and Saturday both giving us partly cloudy conditions

02:42that will eventually become cloudy at times with occasional showers.

02:46There's a low chance of the isolated thunderstorm.

02:49Maximum temperatures are 32 degrees in Trinidad and Tobago

02:53for both Friday and Saturday.

02:56Even with all that rain expected,

02:58our seas will remain moderate

03:00with waves up to 2 meters in open waters

03:02and near 1 meter in sheltered areas.

03:05Now, let's look at our sun times.

03:07In Trinidad, sunrise is at 544

03:09and it will set at 544.

03:12Over in Tobago, sunrise is at 551

03:15and it will set at 541.

03:17However, sorry, rather,

03:19sunrise is at 554 in Trinidad.

03:22Now, it's time for your tired times.

03:24That's all for weather tonight.

03:40Stay safe and stay dry

03:42and don't go anywhere.

03:43There's more news after the break.
