Water levels in rivers in Ostrobothnia to start rising moderately next week

The discharges of rivers have remained low in most parts of the country as is typical of winter. The weather will get considerably warmer from Sunday onward, but there is little snow in Southern and Western Finland for the warm weather to melt, and precipitation will be low in the next few days. The water levels will start rising gradually next week, especially in Ostrobothnia, but the weather will cool down again in the middle of the week and decelerate the rise.
