Day 1: 2026-05-23

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. Conditions remain routine with a regular high tide and near-normal pressure.

WHEN
Peak high tides near midnight around 12:00 AM and late morning near 10:54 AM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tidal level and near-normal pressure were the primary factors, with negligible onshore wind contribution. This is similar to the 2025-06-20 Cat 1 event.

Day 2: 2026-05-24

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected, as overall conditions resemble a routine pattern. Tidal levels remain moderate, and there is no significant wind or low pressure to raise concern.

WHEN
Peak high tides overnight around 12:42 AM and around midday at 12:30 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A regular high tide and near-normal pressure are the main drivers, with minimal wind influence. This setup is similar to the 2023-06-23 Cat 1 event.

Day 3: 2026-05-25

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected, continuing the stable pattern. Slightly lower pressure is not enough to create concern at the moderate predicted tidal levels.

WHEN
Peak high tides in the early morning around 1:24 AM and again in the early afternoon near 2:06 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A moderate tide and slightly below-normal pressure contribute to the overall classification, but neither factor is strong enough to generate flooding. This is similar to the 2026-05-05 Cat 1 event.
