00:00That's Jack and I with Rochelle for tonight's weather forecast.
00:04Thanks, Nisha. Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago. I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend.
00:10Speaking of the weekend, the past couple of days were extremely hot, but today was a bit different.
00:15We started with early morning showers that gave way to sunny to partly cloudy periods before more unsettled conditions occurred.
00:23And for tonight, you can expect more cloudy conditions with scattered showers at times, with temperatures dropping to 24 degrees
00:30in Trinidad and 25 over in Tobago.
00:33So for those of you who love the rain at night, you might have something to look forward to.
00:37Now, those unsettled conditions are expected to continue into tomorrow.
00:42According to the Met Office, partly cloudy to cloudy skies and breezy conditions are expected, with occasional showers, some of
00:50which may become heavy.
00:51Now, these conditions are expected to persist through the day before gradually settling from late afternoon.
00:59Now, temperatures will reach highs of up to 31 degrees in both islands.
01:03Now, looking ahead to Thursday and Friday, keeping an umbrella close by would be a good idea, as unsettled weather
01:11is expected to continue across both islands.
01:14You can expect a mix of sunshine and showers with partly cloudy and breezy conditions throughout the daytime.
01:20A few light to moderate showers are also expected, although there is a chance of heavier showers occurring at times.
01:27So, don't be caught off guard.
01:29Moving on now to our sun times in Trinidad.
01:32Sunrise is at 6 o'clock and 5.57 in Tobago and sunset at 5.59 in Trinidad and 5
01:38.35 in Tobago.
01:39And if you are heading out at sea tomorrow, conditions will be moderate with waves up to 1.5 meters
01:45in open waters and below 1 meter in sheltered areas.
01:49Now, all marine interests are urged to exercise caution as spring ties remain in effect.
01:54Long period swells are also expected to agitate nearshore conditions, particularly along northern and eastern coastlines.
02:02So, even if conditions appear calm, don't let your guard down out at sea.
02:07Now, it's now time for your tight times.
02:16Now, around this time of week, I always have to leave you with a quick Tuesday tip.
02:22After heavy rainfall, avoid swimming near river mouth and be especially cautious if you're hiking to waterfalls or river pools.
02:29Heavy runoff can cause water levels to rise quickly, creating strong, unpredictable currents that can sweep swimmers off their feet.
02:38The water may also become deeper, faster moving and filled with hidden debris.
02:43Even if conditions appear calm when you arrive, upstream rainfall can cause sudden surges of water.
02:49So, always check conditions and avoid entering rivers or pools after periods of heavy rainfall.
02:56That's your tip.
02:57And well, that's all for weather tonight.
02:59Sports is up next.
