Yellow warning issued for western and central Latvia over rising river water levels

Latvia's Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre (LVĢMC) has issued a yellow warning for the western and central parts of the country after extremely heavy and prolonged rain caused a sharp rise in river water levels.

According to meteorologists, rainfall in recent days has significantly exceeded typical levels, leading to rising water in several river sections across these regions. A yellow warning indicates that the weather conditions may pose certain risks, and residents as well as responsible services are advised to monitor how the situation develops.

The source report does not yet specify which particular rivers or towns are most affected. LVĢMC continues to monitor the dynamics of water levels and may adjust or update the warning status if necessary.
