Guaíba expected to exceed 5 meters, peak may occur by Wednesday (15), says RS vice-governor to CNN
The vice-governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Gabriel Souza, informed CNN that the Guaíba lake's water level is expected to exceed five meters, potentially reaching its peak between Tuesday and Wednesday. As of Sunday morning, the water level was at 4.65 meters, with forecasts from the University of Rio Grande do Sul suggesting it could rise to 5.5 meters in the coming days.

The current peak level recorded was 5.33 meters, surpassing the previous record set in 1941.
