Water levels in Latvia are experiencing a significant increase, particularly in various rivers across the country. Reports from the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Center (LVĢMC) indicate that while flooding is decreasing in some parts of Kurzeme due to melting snow, many other rivers are facing heightened water levels. Specifically, the Imula River in Abava has seen a decrease of half a meter since the beginning of the week, yet the overall water level in Abava continues to rise, with a recorded increase of over one and a half meters near Renda.

In regions of Kurzeme, certain rivers are stabilizing or starting to decrease in their water levels, but the rise persists in rivers like Abava, Venta, and Bārta, with the latter observing an increase of nearly two meters near Dūkupji. The data reveals that in Northern Vidzeme, rivers such as Salaca, Rūja, and Seda have exhibited minor decreases at various points in recent days. Despite this, other regions in Latvia are witnessing a more generalized increase in water levels, progressing at an escalating rate.

The most significant increase has been documented at Bērze near Līvbērze, with water levels rising more than two meters since the end of February. Accompanying this rise, other rivers in the Lielupe basin are also demonstrating sharp increases, emphasizing the current precarious situation regarding flood risks in various parts of Latvia as weather patterns change with the season.
