00:00Here to tell us more is Rochelle with tonight's weather forecast.
00:04Thanks Nisha and happy belated Wednesday to you.
00:08I would sing for you but I don't like driving at night in the rain.
00:11Now guys, let's get right to your weather.
00:13Let's begin with what the Met Office said.
00:16A short-term drought is expected from October to November across Tobago,
00:21northeastern Trinidad and the lower Carony River Basin.
00:24The drier than normal conditions could affect agriculture, livestock and water supplies.
00:30With lower soil moisture, reduced stream flows and slower recharge of dams and underground water sources.
00:38Authorities are advising water conservation, proper irrigation and storage, community preparedness
00:43and measures to reduce health risks such as mosquito-borne illnesses ahead of the 2027 dry season.
00:51And of course, we will dive deeper as the days go by.
00:55Moving on now to what we can expect tonight and that's conditions that will be cooler than last night.
01:01With party cloudy, with the occasional light to moderate shower with minimum temperatures at 26 degrees in both islands.
01:09And tomorrow you will get a slight break from the scorching hot sun because the Met Office says
01:14Wednesday will be very cloudy with occasional breezy periods and brief showers with a chance of heavy showers as well.
01:22Some improvement is expected towards the evening but party cloudy conditions will persist into the night.
01:29Daytime temperatures will reach up to 32 degrees in Trinidad and 30 degrees in Tobago.
01:35So you can see it is a bit cooler.
01:37Now, influenced by local conditions, moisture and Saharan dust, the next couple of days will bring verbally cloudy and breezy
01:45skies with brief showers throughout the day.
01:48On Friday, we will get more wind action happening.
01:52Now remember, winds may become gusty in vicinity of showers.
01:56Tower sun times now in Trinidad.
01:59Sunrises at 5.56 and 5.52 in Tobago.
02:02And sunset at 6.10 in Trinidad and 6.07 in Tobago.
02:06And for our seas, well, seas will be moderate with waves 2 meters to 2.5 meters in open waters
02:12and near 1 meter in sheltered areas.
02:15It's now time for your Thai times.
02:25So some international news now.
02:27Central Morocco, particularly Azilal, has been hit by flash flooding following intense thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.
02:35Flood waters rushed through streets and entered homes and businesses, while the region's mountainous terrain increased the risk of rapid
02:44flooding.
02:45Authorities remain on alert as more thunderstorms are possible.
02:49And across Southern California, Hurricane Marie may have stayed well offshore, but it still packed a punch along the coast.
02:57Large swells generated by the hurricane produced waves of up to around 10 feet, flooding parts of Long Beach and
03:06creating dangerous rip currents.
03:08The powerful surf also caused coastal erosion and damage in several areas, reminding us that hurricanes can impact coastlines even
03:17without making landfall.
03:19Well, that's all for weather tonight.
03:21If you love sports, Sergio has the details on all the action.
03:25Isn't that right?
03:27I will wait no more and I will tell you now.
03:29Here's what's coming up.
03:31QPCC president pleased with execution of the Trinidad leg of the CPL.
03:38Lace up as the race for results continues from weekend racing.
03:44And the shortlist is out for the Ballon d'Or.
03:47We've got all the action for you after this.
