Met Office Issues High Wind Alert For 90 Minutes Tonight

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued a High Wind Alert (Yellow Level) for ninety (90) minutes tonight (Tuesday 18th November, 2025). The Alert begins at 6:15 PM and will remain in effect until 7:45 PM for Trinidad, especially the Columbus Channel and Tobago to a lesser extent.

According to the Met Office, a short-lived band of strong wind with associated cloudiness and showers is approaching the islands. There is a high (80%) potential for gusts in excess of 55 Km/hr, especially in the vicinity of showers. 

The Met Office notes that weaker gusts may still persist with varying intensities in the vicinity of overnight showers outside of the alert period.

Impacts

• These gusts may be strong enough to displace unsecured items, including roofs and topple small trees or cause broken branches. 
• Seas can become agitated and this may cause marine disruption, including maneuvering of small craft.

Instructions

• Secure any loose outdoor objects and livestock. 
• Marine interests should exercise caution during this period and small craft should restrict activity. 
• Follow the instructions of lifeguards.
