Rainfall will raise water levels of rivers on the west coast quickly in places
Today’s heavy and extensive rainfall may raise the water levels of rivers to flood levels, especially in the Ostrobothnian regions and in the headwaters of large water bodies. At least in the regions of Ostrobothnia and South Ostrobothnia, the water levels of rivers may rise close to the average spring flood levels in places, and low-lying areas and local roads along rivers and streams may flood.
The water levels of lakes and rivers in North Ostrobothnia, Kainuu and Southern Lapland are exceptionally high.
