"As of April 24, 2024, the water level is 644 cm. The water temperature is 12 °C. The danger level of hydrological phenomena is I (yellow)," the press service reported.

It is noted that at the moment water logging in Kyiv does not pose a threat. No emergency flooding has been recorded in the city, and industrial facilities and residential areas of the city are out of danger.
