Rivers’ lower reaches to continue rising

Up to 100 mm of precipitation has been registered over the last 24 hours in some parts of the Czech Republic. More rain is expected in the coming hours and should only cease at night. Meteorologists warn however that water levels on many rivers’ lower reaches will continue to rise for hours to come. This should affect the Berounka and the Vltava in central Bohemia, the Labe in northern Bohemia, and other rivers.
