The Met Service says while some rivers remain at or near critical level, namely the Caroni river at EL Carmen, which has breached onto the banks of the river, no further extensive flooding is anticipated at this time.

However it advises of the potential riverine and street/flash flooding due to moderate rainfall and runoff from earlier rainfall.

In its latest adverse weather update, the Met Service says run-off will be slower at high tide which will be around 8AM.

It adds that while additional rainfall is expected later today, the duration and intensity is not expected to be as significant as yesterday’s event, however the proximity of the ITCZ lends enough moisture and instability to cause isolated street/flash flooding.

Residents especially persons residing in the vicinity of the Caroni river are advised to remain vigilant and monitor weather conditions.
