- the tail packs a hell of a punch! |
|
The showers are heavy,the winds are gusting and thunder is rolling
overhead.The dark sky is lit up by sporadic streaks of lightning.
Trinidad is still under the effects of the tropical depressionThe heavy showers were concentrated earlier today more to the north east of the island but now the south west is receiving its share of heavy rainfall and strong winds Dr Adesh Nanan _________________________________________________________________Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

- Strong tropical wave approaching! |
|
There is an eerie calm at this time.The initial rays of sunshine have
disappeared.The grey clouds are building as the satellite picture shows the
imminent arrival of heavy showers and thundershowers accompanied by gusty
winds. At this time it is raining cats and dogs in Tobago.
The wave appears to be strengthening as it approaches and I pray that it
weakens because it is heading for a direct hit on Trinidad

- What a Thunderstorm |
|
At about 5:45pm,
what started out as a little blob of rain, converged and expanded on the west
coast over the Gulf of Paria, into a severe thunderstorm. The storm had really
good form and was accompanied by gusty winds in Diego Martin, torrential rain
for about an hour and lightning in the distance. Fortunately the brunt of the
storm was over the gulf. Still, it was amazing to see the sattelite loop showing
its growth over a short 30 minute period.
All is quiet now,
and will probably remain that way for a while, save for the normla scattered
afternoon thunder showers tomorrow. Fingers crossed for those further north that
the tropical wave remains under the influence of dust and wind shear, our
saviours so far, for the season.

- Dangerous Lightning! |
|
At 6.00pm this evening severe lightning lit up the western sky with distant
thunder.Very little rainfall accompanied this event.Presently there is still
thunder overhead but no rain at this time.
This may have been a feeder band from the disturbance on the outskirts of
the leeward islands

- Storm clouds heading for Tobago! |
|
This Tropical Wave although shifting in position is now moving to the South
towards Tobago with heavy showers and gusty winds.The IR satellite loop at
this time is showing this trend.
In Palmiste in Trinidad there was heavy rainfall accompanied with lightning
and loud thunder for half an hour starting at 3.00pm today.Presently the
humidity is high and again an eerie calm .
I hope that Tobago will be spared any intense rainfall to avoid dangerous
landslippage.

- Tropical Wave playing games |

Hi Gert,The temp is 29, humidity very high but the rain has stopped.The satellite picture shows the formation of an eyewall along the wave.I do not know if it is my imagination but this wave is playing games as it moves nearer to the islands.We still have to watch this one carefully.

- Strong Tropical Wave ! |
|
Hi Gert,As conditions become more favourable ,a system in the Central Atlantic has the potential for further development.It is on a course with the Winward Islands and should be monitored very closely.We should not get complacent even though there is an eerie calm from the "monster machine". I pray that this one weakens over the next day or so since Trinidad is not ready for a storm because there was a heavy downpour in our capital city,Port of Spain, yesterday and the said city was flooded.I rest my case Dr Adesh Nanan _________________________________________________________________Don't just search.

- Tropical Wave |
|
Hi Gert,This is a real coincidence that once the hurricane season arrives ,we have a strong tropical wave on our doorstep. It has been raining heavily in North Trinidad and in TobagoIt will take a while for the ground to become saturated due to the intense heat over the last few months. We can never say never with mother nature.It is time once again to be diligent in monitoring the developing weather patterns Dr Adesh Nanan _________________________________________________________________Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
