Hydrological warnings have been issued across the Pomeranian region as rising water levels in Gda\u0144sk surpass safety thresholds and prompt the emergency closure of storm gates.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, July 9, the Regional Water Management Authority in Gda\u0144sk issued 2nd-degree hydrological warnings due to forecasted westerly and north-westerly storm winds. These warnings cover the \u017bu\u0142awy region, the Vistula Lagoon, the East Coast, and internal marine waters.<\/p>\n
Storm gates on the Tuga River have closed automatically due to the surge. Water levels have already exceeded safety thresholds at two hydrological stations: the North Port reached 552 cm, while Sobieszewo recorded 553 cm.<\/p>\n
Despite the current storm activity, the Regional Water Management Authority maintains that a hydrological drought remains a significant threat. Very low flow rates continue to be recorded along the Vistula River from Toru\u0144 to Tczew and in the Bauda river basin.<\/p>\n
The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management has issued 1st-degree warnings for moderate rainfall, with totals reaching 45 mm in some areas. These conditions may include wind gusts of up to 65 km\/h, thunderstorms, and minor hail.<\/p>\n
Friday’s weather outlook identifies the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship as being at the highest risk for storms. Authorities urge residents in coastal and waterside areas to monitor official weather communications closely.<\/p>\n
These developments follow hundreds of firefighting interventions on Wednesday, July 8, related to high winds. Notably, three scouting camps were evacuated, including one in Frombork where tents were destroyed overnight.<\/p>\n
