Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Monday afternoon 14. Aug. 2023
  • Height: 0 - 2000 moh

Consequence

Landslides may be expected. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. Along the watercourses in the flood areas high discharge can lead to erosion of masses at the foot of slopes. Rapid decline of water levels after flood can also cause local landslides. Landslides may be expected. Exposed railways and roads may be closed.

Advice

Keep away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge. Keep water paths and culverts free of snow, ice, gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides.

Description

Along the watercourses in the flood areas high discharge can lead to erosion of masses at the foot of slopes. Rapid decline of water levels after flood can also cause local landslides. Steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge, are particularly exposed. Groundwater and soil moisture are high. The expected rain will increase the danger of landslides. The amount of precipitation, or its location, is somewhat uncertain. Follow the weather radar.
