Melting snow leads to more low-level flood warnings

Melting snows across the country have now raised water levels on rivers in 18 areas leading meteorologists to issue low-level flood warnings. A 2nd degree warning (a mid-level alert) is in place on the Radbuza in western Bohemia. 1st degree alerts are also in place in other parts of the country, including the Labe (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.
