Regional water situation

Southern and Southwest Finland 14.7.

The rivers on the southern and southwest coasts rose rapidly during the weekend due to rainfall. They have now fallen close to the average levels, although some of them, such as Uskelanjoki river is still high.

The water levels in the regulated lakes of Southern and Southwest Finland have risen above the average seasonal levels, in places. The water level of Lake Pyhäjärvi in Säkylä is slightly above the seasonal average, as flow regulation is still low. Lake Hiidenvesi has also risen above the average level of the season, as has Lake Tuusulanjärvi, which has continued to rise with rainfall in recent days. The water situation in natural lakes has improved due to rainfall in mid-June. For example, the water level of Lake Pyhäjärvi, in Artjärvi, has risen above the seasonal average, while the water level was still exceptionally low for the season in May.
