According to the hydrometeorological network, 0 to 2 mm of precipitation fell in the last 24 hours. On most rivers in the Dniester basin, water levels dropped by 1-12 cm. Only on some mountain tributaries, due to the thaw, water levels increased by 3-7 cm, in some places up to 16 cm, as on the Orava River near the village of Sviatoslav.
On the plain rivers of the Sian and Western Bug basins, slight fluctuations in water levels within 1-6 cm were observed, with a tendency towards decrease. On some rivers, ice phenomena in the form of ice jams and frazil ice were observed, with some areas retaining ice cover while other sections of the rivers cleared of ice.
In the coming day, due to the thaw, water levels are expected to decrease on most rivers in the Dniester basin. In the rest of the region’s rivers, a gradual increase in water levels and weakening of ice phenomena will be observed, with some rivers clearing of ice.
