Mild weather has raised river water levels in Southwest and Southern Finland
Rainfall combined with melting snow and frozen drains and culverts caused local stormwater floods in Southwest Finland, during the weekend. The flow rates of rivers increased in Southwest and Southern Finland, at the end of last week, and the water levels in Southwest Finland are slightly higher than usual, in places. Otherwise, river discharges are still mostly close to typical low winter levels.
