Low-level flood warnings expand across the country

Meteorologists have issued low-level flood warnings on 26 rivers around the Czech Republic, as melting snow caused by the high temperatures of recent days continues to raise water levels. The Třebůvka in Moravia is now under a 2nd degree (mid-level) warning. Elsewhere 1st degree alerts are in place in other parts of the country, including the Elbe River in northern Bohemia. 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 the coming of milder conditions in recent days.
