In regard to the Saxon sector of the Elbe, we can anticipate an accurate evaluation of the probable high water conditions starting this Sunday. The Hydro-Meteorological Institute of Prague has been forecasting a rise in water levels for the Czech Elbe and Moldau.

As a precautionary measure, the State Office for Environment, Agriculture, and Geology (LfULG) is asking residents to be cautious and prioritize their safety during potential flooding.
