00:00Now with Ruchel for tonight's weather forecast.
00:03Thanks, Leisha. Good evening, Trinidad and Tobago.
00:06Let's get right to your weather.
00:08Let's begin with tonight.
00:09Conditions will be clear and cool despite one or two brief showers in a few areas,
00:14with temperatures dropping to 25 degrees in Trinidad and 26 in Tobago.
00:19And I hope you're not out of sunscreen just yet,
00:22because tomorrow more sunshine is on the agenda,
00:25along with breezy conditions with a few showers during the afternoon.
00:29Heavy showers or thunderstorms can favor western areas of Trinidad.
00:34Now daytime temperatures will increase to 34 degrees in Trinidad and 33 in Tobago.
00:39Moving on now to our two-day forecast,
00:42where our two favorite days of the week will bring more sunshine and brief showers in the afternoon.
00:48So make sure to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade often.
00:52Let's take a look at our sun times now.
00:54In Trinidad, sunrises at 555 and 552 in Tobago.
00:58And sunset at 545 in Trinidad and 541 in Tobago.
01:03And if tomorrow you get that sudden urge to visit the beach,
01:07seas will be slight and moderate with waves 1 meter to 1.5 meters in open waters
01:12and near calm in sheltered areas.
01:25Did you know that today, October 21st, marks the anniversary of one of the most destructive earthquakes in Trinidad's record
01:33history?
01:33On this day in 1766, a powerful earthquake struck the island,
01:38causing extensive damage to San Jose de Aruna, the then capital of Trinidad, now known as St. Joseph.
01:46Historical accounts describe severe destruction to buildings, churches and other structures,
01:52with strong aftershocks continuing in the days that followed.
01:56Despite the significant damage caused, there were no reports of casualties associated with the earthquake.
02:02More than 250 years later, this event serves as a reminder that Trinidad and Tobago is located in a seismically
02:10active region,
02:12making earthquake awareness and preparedness essential.
02:15Well, now you know.
02:17And well, here's where I leave you.
02:19But don't worry, because Sergio is up next with sports.
02:24Well, here's what's coming up.
02:25St. Benedict's hold on to keep pace with...
