Code yellow and orange advisories warning about possible overflowing of the Danube River have been extended throughout June 21 as early warning and flood levels of the Danube are likely to be exceeded downstream of Bazias and the Iron Gates.

On June 17, code orange advisories were issued for the Giurgiu-Cernvaoda, south – south¬teast portion. The INHGA also says that code yellow warnings issued on June 12 for the Giurgiu¬Cerbnnavoda and Galatai-Tulcea stay in force.
