General water situation / 9.6.
Water levels exceptionally low in Lakeland Finland, river flow rates low throughout the country
While river flow rates are mainly low throughout the country, unsettled weather is forecast for this week, and in the areas with the heaviest rainfall, river water levels may start rising.
The exceptionally low-snow winter and early and dry spring have caused the water levels of natural lakes to decline exceptionally early. The water levels of many medium-sized and smaller lakes have already fallen to the lowest seasonal levels ever recorded in the area extending from North Karelia to Pirkanmaa.
