Tomorrow, the daytime temperatures are expected to fall in plains by 8ºC-10ºC.
The expected rise in water levels in Yakhsou, Obikhingou, Kofarnihon, Elok and Surkhob rivers as well as in tributaries of the Zaravshon River reportedly can cause floods and mudslides.
There is also risk of avalanches in mountain areas at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters above sea level, weather forecasters say.
