Notes
Atmospheric Pressure 1017.3, rainfall last 48 hours 0 mm. River level is above banks, minor flooding in the riparian zone. Mouth berm is narrow, and a bigger high tide would wash over the berm blocking the river. There is a broad pondage of river water behind the berm. Tidal influence is questionable. The river level dropped marginally, probably due to river seepage underneath the berm. Berm length is 14 meters long.
