Towns put on higher flood alert following continued rainfall
Flood alerts have reached their third and highest level in Hradek u Rokycan in western Bohemia, after morning rainfall raised water levels in the Klabava river, which rose above the 2 metre threshold for increasing the alert.
Meteorologists have issued a warning that further towns in Southern parts of the Czech Republic could also still be at risk of flooding. They said that continued rainfall and snow from the mountains could further increase levels in the Vltava and Lunice rivers over the weekend, but do not believe it will be sufficient to raise the flood alert to its highest stage in these regions.
