Water levels in rivers falling to typical levels
The water levels of rivers along the southwest and western coasts and in Northern Finland have remained elevated in places due to rainfall at the end of October, but for the most part, they have fallen close to their seasonal averages. Heavy rainfall has been forecast for the middle of next week, which, if realised, can quickly raise water levels in rivers, especially on the western coast and in North Ostrobothnia.
Water levels of lakes are still unusually low in places in the area extending from Northern Pirkanmaa to North Karelia and the southern parts of Kainuu.
