To rephrase it (somewhat inelegantly):
"...in the circumstances that are most important to take into account at that time..."
There's a sense in "prevailing circumstances" of "dominant circumstances".

To avoid getting lost in a desert, a driver must use appropriate means effective in dealing with prevailing circumstances.
