River levels are rising in Hungary as snow and ice melt, particularly on the River Tisza which flows from the north-east of the country to the south. Preparations for flooding have been made along 525km of the Tisza.
In the upper reaches of the river in the north-east, the highest-level alert has been declared for a 28km section. A second-degree alert applies to a 91km section and 400km along various parts of the river are under the lowest-level alert.
