Warmer weather next week might raise water levels in rivers on the southern and western coasts
Water levels in rivers have been declining slowly on the southern and southwest coasts and in South Ostrobothnia, and they are mainly close to their average January levels. The water levels of some of the rivers and lakes in Southern and Southwest Finland are still higher than usual, in places, due to precipitation and snow melting in December.
The next few days will be cold, but according to forecasts, the milder weather next week will cause water levels in rivers to rise slightly in the water systems on the southern and western coasts.
