Chisinau, 25 July /MOLDPRES/ - The State Hydrometeorological Service (SHS) announced Yellow Code of thunderstorm rains all over Moldova till 26 July.

According to meteorologists, thunderstorm rains, heavy in some regions (15-25 litres per one square metre, 30-35 litres/square metre in places), with hail, storm and wind gusting to 15-20 metres/second are expected on 25 and 26 July.

Also today, SHS announced a hydrological warning for north Moldova, valid till 29 July. The warning is triggered by heavy precipitation, which formed a high flood in the upper flow of the Prut river (Ukraine).
