Официални предупреждения за тежки метеорологични условия в близост до Siparia

The Caroni River continues to exceed capacity near the Tumpuna and El Carmen areas, and overspilling is ongoing. Water levels remain dangerously high and forecast rainfall is expected to exacerbate current conditions. The Manuel Congo River, after an earlier decline, is now gradually rising again due to today’s rainfall and is nearing critical levels once more. The South Oropouche River is also at threatening levels and continues a slow but steady rise. Some areas along this river have already experienced localized overflows, posing increased risk to surrounding communities. Further rainfall is expected over the next 12-24 hours, which will likely worsen riverine flooding conditions. As a result, a severe risk remains to public safety, livelihoods, and property, particularly for residents in flood-prone communities along the Caroni, Manuel Congo and South Oropuche Rivers. Other rivers, including the North Oropouche, are rising at lower rates but are still under close observation.

Occasional showers and periods of rain are still expected for the rest of today and into tomorrow (Friday 13th June 2025). There is a high(70%) chance for periodic heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms. There is an increased risk of street /flash flooding and landslides/landslips, particularly in areas with saturated soils. In the event of heavy, prolonged rainfall, smaller watercourses already at full capacity may overtop. Winds may become gusty in the vicinity of heavy showers/thunderstorms. These winds may further agitate sea conditions, displace loose outdoor items and even topple unstable trees. A Riverine Alert - Orange Level is also in effect mainly for rivers in the Caroni and south Oropouche river Basins.
