Ostrobothnian rivers to reach flood peaks next week

The discharges of rivers have remained low in most parts of the country as is typical of winter. The warming weather and rainfall will cause the water levels in rivers, especially in Ostrobothnia, to rise at the weekend. There is hardly any snow to the south of the Suomenselkä drainage divide, and the water levels will hardly rise either.
