Flooding

We are in the midst of our May-June rainy season. The ITCZ has us in its grip. Unfortunately heavy rain has coincided with higher than usual tides and there is wide-spread flooding. 

The water level in our area is not exceptional. It used to reach this level perhaps once a year, ten years ago. However it has reached close to this level may be 5 times so far this year. I would blame this on climate change and sea-level rise.
