The Meteorological Office, in its 5 am update, said Hurricane Beryl was approximately 93km northeast of Tobago, moving west at nearly 31 km/h. Periods of showers and gusty winds have been observed and further deterioration is expected with gusts in excess of 70 km/h.
The Met Service said there is a 90 per cent chance of hazardous seas with large, battering waves. Mariners should expect wave heights to increase significantly, posing a danger to small craft, coastal and offshore activities. Strong currents and choppy seas will make navigation hazardous.
Trinidad is under a tropical storm warning. This means there is a high potential for tropical storm conditions, including sustained winds of 63-118 km/h, over the next seven hours.
The next update will be issued at 8 am.
