Number of flood warnings decreases, but lower river levels expected to rise

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.
