SUNDAY morning activities across Trinidad and Tobago were all but halted yesterday, as the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) dumped hours of heavy rainfall across the country from Saturday night into yesterday afternoon.

The massive rainfall triggered street flooding in multiple areas and pleas for fast, preventive action by the authorities ahead of the 2025 rainy season.

As forecast last week by the T&T Meteorological Services (TTMS), mid-May has brought the first hints of the rainy season with the ITCZ’s heavy thunderstorms and strong winds.
