00:00Thanks, Nisha. Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago. I hope you guys had a great weekend. It's now time for your
00:06weather.
00:07Let's see what we're getting tonight. Tonight will be mostly fair, hazy and breezy, despite the brisk, isolated shower with
00:14minimum temperatures of 23 degrees in both Trinidad and Tobago.
00:18And with temperatures of 32 degrees in Trinidad and 30 degrees in Tobago, tomorrow conditions are expected to be mostly
00:26sunny, hazy and breezy, despite the occasional cloudy smell, accompanied by light, moderate showers.
00:33But make sure to have your masks close by because another surge of Saharan dust is expected from tonight into
00:40tomorrow.
00:41The concentration of dust is expected to be moderate with some higher fluctuations.
00:46Sensitive persons should take the necessary precautions.

01:12Trinidad and 616 in Tobago as well.
01:14Now, the beach is definitely where you should not want to go for the next couple of days, and I
01:21will tell you why.
01:22Another hazardous seas alert was issued today and took effect at 4pm this afternoon and will remain until Thursday the
01:295th at 6pm.
01:31This, as strong winds are expected to create rough seas conditions along northern and eastern exposed coasts and offshore areas.
01:39Conditions will be hazardous for small craft, fishing and other offshore activities, while spring tides may worsen impacts at seawals
01:48during high tide.
01:49There is also a heightened risk of dangerous rip currents for swimmers.
01:53Marine operators and beachgoers are advised to exercise extreme caution and follow official guidance and updates.
02:01With that being said, tomorrow's seas will be rough, with waves near 3 metres in open waters and up to
02:072 metres, occasionally choppy, in sheltered areas.
02:10It is now time for your tight times.
02:19In some international news, tonight the full moon will slip into Earth's darkest shadow during a total lunar eclipse and
02:26create a stunning blood moon.
02:28It will be visible from start to finish across western North America and eastern Australia and New Zealand, as well
02:35as northern Japan.
02:37Glimpses of some phases will also be possible across North and South America, East Asia and the Pacific.
02:43A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow across the lunar
02:50surface.
02:50During a total lunar eclipse, the moon takes on a deep red or coppery hue and can be visible to
02:57millions of people worldwide.
02:59Trinidad and Tobago should be able to take in some of it at around 5.55 tomorrow morning.
03:05Well, that's all for weather tonight. Don't go anywhere because there's more news when we come back.
