The rains hit the eastern half of Bohemia and the whole of Moravia and Silesia on Saturday. Precipitation clouds are gradually moving further east.
–
Due to the fact that in the area of the Jeseníky Mountains it rained up to 30 millimeters at night on Saturday and up to another 25 could fall during the day, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI) updated the heavy rain warning on Saturday before noon, which applies to parts of Pardubice, Olomouc and Moravian-Silesian Region.
–
Meteorologists expected rising levels in the east of the Pardubice and west of the Olomouc region, which came true on Saturday afternoon, when the Jevíčka river in Chornice reached the first flood stage and some other smaller streams began to rise.
–
The situation should not be dramatic, however, meteorologists’ warnings are valid until six o’clock on Sunday morning.
–
The hydrological forecast states that “more significant increases may occur due to expected precipitation, especially in the north-eastern republic, where, due to the saturation of the area, exceeding the 1st degree of flood activity cannot be ruled out, especially in the Třebůvka river basin”.
