00:00This is Rochelle with tonight's weather forecast.

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

00:06Let's get right to your weather.

00:08We're starting off with what happened today.

00:10Ahead of an approaching surge of moisture,

00:13cloud cover increased over parts of southwest peninsula

00:17and Trinidad's northwestern region.

00:22Isolated showers, some becoming heavy,

00:24developed at times during the afternoon,

00:26with activity gradually easing towards sunset.

00:30And what's happening now in Port of Spain currently,

00:33temperatures at 28 degrees with humidity at 83%.

00:38Over in Tobago, we have some light rain with temperatures at 28 degrees

00:42and winds coming northeast at 7 km per hour

00:45and humidity at 78%, but it feels like 31 degrees.

00:51Tonight will be cloudy with some showers expected over a few areas

00:55with minimum temperatures of 24 degrees in Trinidad

00:58and 25 over in Tobago.

01:00And here's why we're working with our umbrellas tomorrow.

01:03The Met Office is forecasting partly cloudy conditions

01:06with occasional showers and a medium chance of isolated heavy showers

01:11or thunderstorms.

01:12Conditions will settle by late afternoon.

01:15Maximum temperatures are expected to come in at 32 degrees in Trinidad

01:19and 31 degrees in Tobago.

01:21For those of you planning outdoor activities on Friday and Saturday,

01:25you might want to change your plans a bit.

01:28Because Friday is expected to bring partly cloudy to cloudy conditions

01:31during the day.

01:33With occasional light and moderate showers

01:35and a medium chance of a few heavy showers,

01:38some coldiness will persist overnight,

01:40accompanied by a few thunderstorm activity.

01:43Maximum temperatures are expected to come in

01:45at 30 degrees in both Trinidad and Tobago.

01:49And Saturday will be the same,

01:51but this time with a lower chance of thunderstorm activity.

01:54Nighttime will be settled with a few showers expected

01:57from early morning.

01:58Both islands will experience a maximum temperature of 31 degrees.

02:03Now for our sun time in Trinidad,

02:05sunrise is at 558 and it will set at 540.

02:09Over in Tobago, sunrise is at 555 and it will set at 536.

02:13Let's see what our seas are giving us tomorrow.

02:17Seas are moderate with waves,

02:191.5 meters to 2 meters in open waters

02:21and below 1 meter in sheltered areas.

02:25It's now time for your Thai times.

02:39Did you know that today is World Tsunami Awareness Day?

02:43Let's talk about it.

02:45It's an annual event held on the 5th of November

02:47to raise awareness of the dangerous effects of tsunamis,

02:51the importance of tsunamis, preparedness and early warning signs.

02:55And over here, I like to keep my viewers informed.

02:58Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes

03:01or volcanic eruptions under the sea.

03:04Out in the depths of the ocean,

03:06tsunami waves do not dramatically increase in height,

03:09but as the waves travel inland,

03:11they build up to higher heights

03:13as the depth of the ocean decreases.

03:16The speed of tsunami waves depends on ocean depth

03:18rather than the distance from the source of the wave.

03:22Preparations can save lives.

03:24Here's how to stay safe before, during and after a tsunami.

03:28Before a tsunami, know the warning signs.

03:31A strong or long earthquake near the coast

03:33or a sudden retreat of the sea exposing the seabed

03:37can be a natural tsunami warning.

03:39Have an emergency plan,

03:41pack an emergency kit and stay informed.

03:44During a tsunami, move to higher grounds immediately,

03:48stay away from the beach or shore

03:49and don't go back to the coast

03:51until authorities says it's safe.

03:54After a tsunami, avoid floodwaters,

03:57listen to updates from emergency services

03:59and help others who may need assistance.

04:03Well, now you know.

04:05That's all for weather tonight.

04:06Stay with us.

04:07This is more news after a break.
