River levels are currently near threshold values in some parts, especially along the Caroni River basin and flooding is ongoing in certain regions as well. A high tide is expected near 7.15 pm tonight, Saturday 8th August 2020, as such, runoff may be impeded as a result of this. With some rainfall anticipated overnight tonight, any additional accumulations may exacerbate the river levels. Therefore, a moderate risk to public safety, livelihoods and property exists in these areas.
