Flood in Central and Eastern Latvia (2018-02-02)

Collection: CEMS-RM : CEMS Rapid Mapping 

Description


Activation time (UTC): 2018-02-02 19:35:00
Event time (UTC): 2018-01-23 07:00:00
Event type: Flood (Ice jam flood)

Activation reason:
Ice jam formations along Daungava and Lielupe rivers have started to increase water level since late January 2018. Today the rapid snowmelt due to high temperatures (0 - +4°) and rainfalls are dramatically increasing water levels and volume: these conditions can lead to potential floodings and ice jam movements, especially within the Lielupe catchment due to it's phisiography.
