While water levels have started receding in some areas, over 200 places in the Czech Republic remain on flood alert, one-third of them on the highest flood warning level. The situation is reported to be critical in several places - on the Chrudimka River, Opava River and the Odra River.

A fifty-meters-long crack appeared in the dam at the confluence of the Opava and Odra rivers, letting out a stream of 100 cubic metres of water per second and directly threatening Ostrava and Opava, parts of which were flooded. Ostrava has started evacuating inhabitants from some areas of the city. Litovel in the Olomouc Region was flooded on Monday morning and there are fears the situation could worsen in Olomouc and several location in the South Moravian Region.

The situation has worsened severely in South Bohemia where the highest flood level warning is in force in 13 places, and according to forecasts the belt of rain will move westwards. Forecasts predict  rain not only on Monday, but also on Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. Firefighters and emergency crews are on stand-by for evacuation.

The police have confirmed the first three casualties of the floods. A woman drowned in the Krasovka River in the Bruntál region, two people, a man and a woman were found dead in Krnov and seven people are reported missing. There is no trace so far of the three missing people whose car fell into a turbulent river in the Jesenice region on Saturday. A fifty-four-year-old man who fell into a swollen stream in the Uherské Hradiště region on Saturday also disappeared without trace. Firemen and rescue teams narrowly saved several people from drowning, including three young children. The authorities have appealed to the public not to take risks and above all to refrain from adrenalin sports such as trying to sail down the swollen rivers in boats or on rafts.

The most tragic floods in the history of the Czech Republic claimed 50 lives in July 1997. The 2020 floods claimed nine casualties and seventeen people died in the 2002 floods. The police and local authorities said that getting an early warning of the floods thanks to more advanced meteorological models was a huge advantage that helped protect both lives and property.

Mobile networks in Moravia-Silesia and Olomouc regions are still facing local outages due to power cuts, with hundreds of cell towers without electricity. Access to some sites with diesel generators is restricted due to safety concerns, according to operators. CETIN, T-Mobile, O2, and Vodafone are working to restore service but are hindered by downed trees, flooded roads, and unstable ground. T-Mobile and O2 are offering unlimited mobile data to customers affected by fixed internet outages, while Vodafone has introduced unlimited data for its contract customers until September 19.

The number of flood warnings in Czechia has decreased by around 40 in the past 24 hours, with over 200 locations still under alert. One-third of these areas remain at the highest flood warning level. While water levels are stabilizing in the upper river regions, levels in lower areas are expected to rise. According to water management authorities, rivers in the Olomouc region have already peaked, but mid and lower river levels are increasing. Bečva is expected to peak early Monday morning, with evacuation recommended in Litovel. Extreme flood alerts remain in place for Mikulovice and Jindřichov, though technical sensor issues may affect readings.
