Low-level flood alerts in places

Melting snows across the country have raised water levels on rivers in 14 areas leading meteorologists to issue flood warnings. A 2nd degree warning (a mid-level alert) is in place on the Novohrádka – a river near Chrudim. 1st degree alerts are also in place in other parts of eastern Bohemia, as well as the west of the country. This winter saw snowfall within norms, specialists have said, but a higher concentration in cities like the Czech capital, where snow only began disappearing with coming spring conditions over the last several days.
