In part of Bohemia, there is a risk of river swelling, meteorologists have expanded the warning
Meteorologists in Czechia have expanded earlier warnings of rising river levels, primarily affecting eastern regions as of Sunday evening.
Meteorologists in Czechia have issued updated warnings regarding the rise in river levels, particularly impacting regions in eastern Bohemia. This new advisory, issued by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, suggests that rivers could reach the first level of flood activity due to expected rainfall and snowmelt. The warning is set to remain in effect from Sunday evening until further notice.
The areas most at risk include the northeastern part of South Bohemia, much of Vysočina, Kutná Hora, and Poděbrady in Central Bohemia, as well as sections of Chrudim and Svitavy in Pardubice, and southwestern regions of Hradec Králové and eastern Liberec. While authorities confirm that there should be no overflowing of riverbanks, they caution that the rapid runoff and saturated soil conditions could threaten tree stability, raising concerns about potential hazards.
As the warning becomes effective, local officials are being advised to monitor developments closely. The situation reflects broader seasonal challenges in managing heavy rainfall and snow melt, underscoring the need for timely forecasts and effective public communication during adverse weather conditions. This case highlights the importance of preparedness in the face of potential flooding and ecological impacts from changing weather patterns in the region.
