Yellow warning issued for river floodplain flooding in parts of Latvia

Latvian meteorologists have issued a yellow-level warning covering the central and western parts of the country. The warning points to possible flooding of river floodplains and other low-lying areas in several locations.

A yellow warning is the lowest of the three alert levels used to signal weather and hydrological risks, but it still means residents in the affected areas should be prepared for rising water levels that could reach nearby land and property.

The source information does not specify exact locations, but notes that the risk zone spans both the central part of the country and western districts. People whose property or land lies near river floodplains are advised to follow updates from local municipalities.
