Residents in the Greater Toronto Area are being told to be careful around rivers in the region after much rain on the August long weekend. It said rivers and streams in the GTA may be higher and flowing faster than usual due to a large volume of rain in the last two days. Watersheds in the GTA received between 20 millimetres of rain on Monday, with some receiving 35 millimetres. Low-lying areas or areas with poor drainage where ponding has occurred may take some time to return to normal." They are also urged to use caution around all rivers, streams and shoreline areas and monitor conditions closely.
