Trinidad and Tobago is bracing for further adverse weather, as a second tropical wave moves across the island, following heavy overnight rainfall.

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service is warning that while Tropical Wave 18 has already impacted the country, Tropical Wave 19 is now moving across the islands, bringing more showers, thunderstorms, and strong winds.

Tropical Wave 18 on Tuesday night, also caused a slight disruption to the electricity grid, with the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission noting that a “voltage dip” was experienced around 9:15pm during adverse lightning activity in Central Trinidad, which occurred when two circuits between the Brechin Castle and Debe 132 kV substations tripped, but were automatically reclosed by the built-in protection system.
